[edit] Summary

A somewhat subjective and fanciful mid-Victorian caricature by Alfred Grévin, which seems to express his personal opinion of the progressive degeneration of women's clothing styles over the first seven or eight decades of the 19th century (this was not intended to be realistically historically accurate on the right-hand side...).

Could date from the late 1860's to early 1880's, depending on how you correlate the outfits on the right with real-world fashion changes.
