Gisela Röder's History of Fashion

Gisela Röder is a German-born artist who, in addition to providing the artwork for several German children's books, illustrated a series of "History of Fashion" postcards that were likely released in the 1960s or 1970s.

I have, so far, managed to collect the postcards from the late 17th century - 19th century Restoration-era. I absolutely love the retro feel of these illustrations and I hope I can finish my collection of them soon.

I've arranged them more or less in chronological order - enjoy!
