Ladies' Page: dress of white lawn trimmed with black velvet, 1898. '...this lady tied up with Louis Quinze knots in black velvet over white lawn is a very impersonation of summer. The posthumous honours which fashion still showers on the memory of a somewhat difficile monarch might, indeed, well embarrass the artistic Louis were he still in the flesh. Our hats, our neck-bows, our furniture, the very clocks on our mantelpieces, not to mention those on our stockings, are Louis Quinze. If imitation be still the sincerest flattery, and if its subtle incense may ascend to higher ether than we wot of, then may the fifteenth monarch of his name remember that though life is short, art indeed is long.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
