Working primarily for Le Moniteur de la Mode and contributing to numerous European fashion journals including Le Journal des Dames, David produced over 2,500 fashion plates across a 50-year career. His original signed plates are held in the permanent collections of:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Louvre, Paris\u003cbr\u003eVictoria and Albert Museum, London\u003cbr\u003eMetropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003cbr\u003eBibliothèque nationale de France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis signature in the lower-left corner (\"Jules David\") authenticates this piece as an original period work — not a later reprint. The plate is also signed by the engraver in the lower-right corner, the dual-signature format being a hallmark of high-quality 19th-century French fashion engravings.\u003cbr\u003e📜 DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlate Number: 1249C\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: Circa 1875 (Late First Bustle Period)\u003cbr\u003eArtist (Designer): Jules David, signed lower-left\u003cbr\u003eEngraver: signed lower-right\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Ad.

The \"C\" suffix is notable: while the more commonly encountered \"B\" suffix indicates the Brussels-distributed Edition Belge, the \"C\" suffix corresponds to a separate distribution edition of the journal — making \"C\" plates considerably less common in today's collector market than their \"B\" counterparts. For collectors building a complete Le Journal des Dames archive, \"C\" plates fill a distinct and harder-to-source slot.\u003cbr\u003e🦋 NOTE ON THE BUTTERFLY DETAIL\u003cbr\u003eThe young girl's butterfly net and freshly caught blue butterfly is one of the most beloved compositional motifs in the Jules David catalogue — combining children's fashion with a gentle natural-history reference popular in upper-middle-class French households of the period (lépidoptérie, or amateur butterfly collecting, was a fashionable pursuit for educated children).

Skirts were drawn upward and back into elaborate puffs and waterfalls of fabric, supported by horsehair-padded bustles and tournures. The horizontal pleated tiers (\"volants plissés\") seen on the central figure of this plate are a defining feature of 1872–1874 Paris couture — a technique requiring yards of carefully box-pleated silk and considered the mark of a high-end atelier.

Richter is recognized in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection (NYC) and his original woodblocks are preserved at the Berchtesgadener Bilderstüberl gallery, where his prints continue to be hand-pulled by the estate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis composition depicts three men around a tilted card table — a rare secular group subject in Richter's oeuvre, which is more commonly known for Berchtesgaden landscapes and religious works. The angular Cubist-influenced furniture, sharply characterized faces, smokers, and the iconic heart-back chair place this print firmly in the German Expressionist \/ Neue Sachlichkeit idiom of the late Weimar period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e- Artist: Fritz Richter (1904–1981), also known as Friedrich Richter\u003cbr\u003e- Title: Die Spieler (The Card Players \/ Die Kartenspieler)\u003cbr\u003e- Medium: Original woodcut on thin laid paper (Orig.
