Here are a few of the color fashion plates I have that I mentioned on your post about possible paper dolls. I’m fairly sure that what you have are cut outs from color fashion plates from Ladies magazines of the 1800’s.
These are ones I have in frames so please excuse the glare.
These were called Godey Prints and usually found in Magazines . It was a way to show people in US what the latest fashion trends were in France since France was always the fashion trend setter . I love these prints and did collect them years ago , Gorgeous ! I still have several framed ones but none are hung up anymore .
