A Parisian fashion plate from 1810. The caption, Google Translate assures me, reads, "Bonnet trimmed with tulle. Fichu on the shoulders." It looks as though there is a kind of overlayer of tulle on her cap, or perhaps it is just around the edges -- interesting.
Those are some massive knitting needles -- and she looks pretty smug about it, too! A blanket, I wonder? What else could it be at that scale?
