La Mode illustrée, no. 31, 5 août 1900, Paris. Robe-princesse ornée de broderie. Modèle de Mme Angenault, rue de Provence, 67. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney
Description de la gravure coloriée:
Robe en drap léger gris tourterelle, garnie d'applications brodées sur transparent de taffetas bleu azur. Deux larges bandes brodées encadrent le tablier de la jupe, puis contournent les hanches et s'élargissent pour figurer un boléro; la broderie se termine derrière sous un pli creux; ce pli, prolongé sur le corsage, disparaît sous la guipure. Les devants s'ouvrent avec de larges revers découpes en pointes, garnis de mousseline de soie bleue plissée et bordés de ruches, sur un plastron à col droit fait en mousseline semblable. Les manches, légèrement évasées sur la main, sont garnies de broderie. On complète la robe par une ceinture bleu azur.
Chapeau rond en paille grise garni d'une draperie en mousseline de soie bleue et d'une plume recourbée.
Ombrelle en soie blanche ornée de broderie, et brodée de dentelle.
—
Dress in light dove gray cloth, trimmed with appliqués embroidered on transparent azure blue taffeta. Two large embroidered bands frame the apron of the skirt, then go around the hips and widen to feature a bolero; the embroidery ends behind in a box pleat; this fold, extended over the bodice, disappears under the guipure. The fronts open with wide peaked cut-out lapels, trimmed with pleated blue silk chiffon and edged with ruffles, on a stand-up collar made of similar chiffon. The sleeves, slightly flared on the hand, are trimmed with embroidery. The dress is completed with an azure blue belt.
Round gray straw hat trimmed with a blue silk chiffon drapery and a curved feather.
Parasol in white silk decorated with embroidery and embroidered with lace.

Animal of the Day!
Kha-nyou (Laonastes aenigmamus)
(Photo from Zoo Praha)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Central Laos
Size (Weight/Length)- 40 cm
Diet- Grasses; Leaves; Seeds
Cool Facts- Despite being a rodent, the kha-nyou, also known as the Laotian rock rat, is unique from all other rodents due to their relatedness with ancient, fossilized rodents. In fact, the closest relative of these rats was alive over 11 million years ago. The kha-nyou was officially described after being found in a food market in 2005. Little is known about their reclusive lifestyle outside of them being nocturnal and primarily herbivores. Kya-nyou have a waddle walk due to splayed feet that help them to climb over large boulders. Conservation groups are exploring Laos for further knowledge of the kha-nyou with the hope of finding fossilized remains to fill in that 11 million year gap.
Rating- 11/10 (Kinda squirrely, kinda ratty, kinda adorable.)

Barbara Shermund, A Day at the Beach, a cover for The New Yorker, published August 5, 1944.
It's unusual to see a person of color so prominently featured in a mainstream publication at the time, even if it was as a servant. She is reading, though, which suggests that she's a more serious person than her sunbathing mistress.
