A propos de cet article

An original envelope and stamp measuring approximately 3 x 5 1/4 inches. Thanks for looking.A mantua (from the French manteuil ) is an article of women's clothing worn in the late 17th century and 18th century. Originally a loose gown, the later mantua was an overgown or robe typically worn over stays, stomacher and a co-ordinating petticoat. The origins of the term mantua to mean a robe are unclear. The garment may have been named after Mantua, in Italy, a centre of production for some of the expensive silks that would have been used to make up such garments. The term may also derive from manteau, the French term for a coat. From this garment arose the term mantua-maker, an early term for a women's dressmaker.On Apr-05-13 at 19:28:11 PDT, seller added the following information: FREE!
