I put "1830s redingote tailcoat" into google and then only looked at the images page. It was about 6 pages in. I love the google images filter. It has come through for me on so many projects!

That certainly fits the description! The date of the image is right at the very end of the Romantic period, depending on which period dating system you follow, so I can use it. The description that accompanies the image, on the Wikimedia Commons site, does not use the terms tailcoat or redingote, but then Wikipedia and it's off-shoots are not considered the most accurate of sources. Thank you for finding this one. I am curious as to how you found it as I could not use the rpmedia.ask.com site. Maybe the site is down. Anyway, for the sheer delight of looking at other images, I'll probably look some more, but it is nice to know that I've got an image that can work!

I woke up this morning wondering if my message was even clear at all. I always wonder when I type too late at night. I am just looking for any images that might fit the description, NOT trying to find the specific image from 20+ years ago. In truth, I could end up looking at the original image and not recognizing it. But any image of a man in a tailcoat and a woman in a Redingote would be just fine. So the sources that you suggested certainly do sound like they have possibilities. Thank you!

Both have pics from Bon Temps and many of the illustrations show couples as you have described.

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!
