Found these at a local flea market yesterday. One is labelled January 1869 and the other is May 1869. They appear to have been folded at some point in time. Any info is welcome.

Thanks Valentino! I researched them but couldn't find anything on the two that I have
I have one still in an original magazine from about the same time. It was for Peterson's, and they were often pull-outs in the fashion portion. You could order more if desired. Real steel plate engravings of the latest fashion straight out of Paris is how they touted them.
Beautiful ! I collected these Fashion plates for a long time at one time I think I had 50 hanging in my room :-) I sold many of them years ago at our antique shop but have kept some yet . They showed the newest fashions out Paris to the world and other countries followed their lead in fashion . I call them Godey Prints and many came out of Harper Magazine as well as others .
