Condition; the plate shows some age ,but overall very good.The frame is circa 1950's of very quality and shows light wear .
It's quite difficult to take pictures to reflective surfaces like glass ; the engraving looks even better in reality ; a genuine and very elegant piece of art .

In his prolific career his best-known works are those twenty-four illustrations that record fashionable dress and interiors of the last years of the Ancien Régime, his contributions to the Monument du costume physique et morale, twelve as a Suite d'estampes pour servir à l'histoire dews mœurs des François au dix-huitième siècle, 1776 and 1777, and twelve more in the Troisième Suite d'éstampes pour servir a l'Histoire des Moeurs et du Costume..., 1783, published by his uncle by marriage, L.-F. Prault, and many times re-issued in varying formats, notably in a collection in 1789 with text by Restif de la Bretonne. Each of the first dozen of these vignettes of stylish contemporary life has an element of anecdote, reporting in a cohesive and unified manner "a highly idealized vision of an aristocratic family's approach to childbearing and motherhood based on the philosophy of Rousseau" (Heller-Greenman).

This print is from a series first published in 1789 entitled Le Monument de Costume Physique et Moral de la fin du Dix- huitième siècle which was re-printed in several occasions . They tell the story of a fashionable lady called Céphise from the announcement of her pregnancy through to motherhood and her return to court society.The purpose of these series was to show the fashions and customs of French high society, including changing tastes in room furnishings.
