I have
?just received copies of Fashion in Jane Austin's Time and catalogue of the new
Napolianic fashion exhibit.? Both have pics from Bon Temps and many of the
illustrations show couples as you have described. You might find your quest in
these.

Google search. www.blakeneymanor.com Maybe the
pictures were taken from this book:
"All images and text from The Mode In Costume by R. Turner Wilcox, Charles

Good evening,
Ok, so it's almost midnight and I'm plugging away on a project that I really
don't need finished until Fall. It's what I'm in the mood for though, so
here I am, up too late and probably too tired to think clearly!
I am looking for an image, probably of a man and a women - maybe a fashion
sketch, maybe a painting, maybe something else...
He is wearing a clawhammer tail coat, aka dress coat. She is wearing a
Redingote gown. That is all I have.
I would have seen this image in a Costume History class in 1987-88, during
the lecture and again on one of the exams. On that exam, we were shown the
image and asked to identify the Period, approx. date, country, Key Garment
and Key Accessory/Garment. On my copy of the test, I got full credit for
Romantic, 1815-1848, England/France, Clawhammer tailcoat, Redingote gown.
>From that answer, I drew my conclusion that this picture would have been of
a man and a woman.
If you're a costume history image fanatic, or a Romantic period fanatic, and
this strikes a cord with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts on images that
might fit this description. It's not critical or urgent, but it will
probably drive me crazy with wondering! LOL
