The reproductions were taken from a picture issued on the occasion of the discontinuance of the periodical "Der Spiegel für Kunst Eleganz und Mode" about 1852. On this sheet with the title The History of Fashion are 16 engravings showing the changing fashion between 1828 and 1843. These engravings were made by József Sürch. The endpapers, a pen-drawing of V. Grimm, show a view of the Danube and Budapest with the Chain Bridge that was opened in 1849.
