The World of Fashion and Continental Feuilletons

(1824-1851), Fashion magazine

Artist associated with 4 portraits
The World of Fashion and Continental Feuilletons (London) was a monthly magazine with a wide circulation which was, like La Belle Assemblée, published by John Bell. Its plates were slightly larger than others of the time, being square with up to six figures. Mrs Mary Ann Bell, whose creations had previously appeared in La Belle Assemblée, transferred the rights to reproduce her designs to this, and it included extensive advertising for her shop. William Wolfe Alais designed the best of its plates, many of which were copies of French ones, and it still issued its own copied plates in the 1860s and 70s when nearly every English magazine imported them from France. It was the first fashion magazine to include paper patterns from 1850.
