I hate when people post interesting images without any explanation of what we are looking at. After two minutes of googling I found that the Images are of the Meigs Elevated Railway taken from Scientific American (July 10, 1886)

damesalamode: Le Follet, January 1847. No description on these, but I’m going to assume ball dress and fancy dress? In honor of adding 1840s to the catalog, today is going to be all 1840s!  I hope you enjoy!  (And if you don’t, the older stuff will resume tomorrow <3 )

rskelly: Antique fashion plate, hand colored. From Le Follet fashion magazine, drawn by the artist Anais Tondouze. I am not sure the year this was printed, but they are wearing crinolines rather than bustles of the later part of the 19th century. The “61” may indicate it is from 1861. Evening wear.
