Regency Style Orange Walking Dress

I couldn't resist cleaning up and sharing one more Regency era fashion illustration.  This one shows a "walking dress" from 1811.  I guess ladies had special dresses for walks?  Maybe for walking about town?  It certainly is fabulous.  I love the matching little handbag and the head-dress, don't you?

Orange Marmalade Free Vintage Ad Label

I'm crazy about this old advertisement for orange marmalade.  Love the colors, love the bowl of fruit, love the flowers and leaves!  Looking at the orange peels I can almost smell fresh oranges.  I guess that's how they were trying to sell the marmalade!  Anyway, a nice summertime image.
