Item description from seller

Fabulous Regency fashion, including its affinity for the exotic, shown in seven overlay metamorphics. N.d., circa 1816. (Based on paper watermark of that date. Thus these were executed then or shortly afterward, as fashions shown are very much of the Regency period.) The base leaf is 16.5 by 13.5 cm. The overlays are captioned: "Turkish Dress", "Spanish Dress", "Winter Dress", "Virgin of the Sun", "Ball Dress", "Shepherdess", and "Queen's Dress". The overlays a variable in size, and they have to be, and moved just so to fit correctly with the base head. One of the overlays has a small amount of tissue reinforcement. The group is housed in a modern custom cloth portfolio, with flaps to hold the paper in and a ribbon tie to seal the portfolio.
