This is a Godey Print . These photo's were published in Godey's Magazine to show the fashion of the day which were influenced by French . No one can read what is wrote . I suspect it says Something about the Elegant clothes and may or may not say who was seen wearing them . The magazine 1830-1878 was published by
Louis Antoine Godey (June 6, 1804 – November 29, 1878) was an American editor and publisher, known as the founder of Godey's Lady's Book, the first successful American women's fashion magazine.
Biography
Godey was born to French immigrant parents in New York. His family was poor and he had no formal schooling, but he was self-educated. At age 15, he took a job as a newspaper boy in New York. Several years later, he moved to Philadelphia and became an editor for the Daily Chronicle. In 1830, he published the first edition of the Lady's Book, composed of reprinted articles and illustrations from French magazines. Godey married Maria Duke in 1833 and had five children.
Godey hired Sarah Josepha Hale editor of Godey's Lady's Book in 1837. The magazine became extremely popular, becoming America's highest circulated magazine in the 1840s[1] and reaching over 150,000 subscribers by 1858. Godey published two other magazines, The Young People’s Book (1841) and Lady’s Musical Library (1842) with less successful results. Godey copyrighted each issue of Godey's Lady's Book starting in 1845, making it one of the first magazines in America to do so.
Grave marker for Louis A. Godey and his wife at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia.
In the 1870s, he retired to St. Augustine, Florida, but returned to Philadelphia where he died in 1878.
