A 1793 depiction of a couple dressed in French formal court styles of ca. 1778. (For a contemporary 1778 color depiction of an outfit similar to what the woman is wearing, see Image:1778-jeune-dame-de-qualite-en-grande-robe.jpg.) Caption: "OH! QUELLE FOLLIE QUE LA NOUVEAUTÉ....." This is the right half of a plate from Vernet's "Incroyables et Merveilleuses" series, 1793.
