This is one of the customs and rituals gravures, Freudenberg, painter and engraver, produced for publisher Francois Prault. These plates where meant to educate the not so rich in the ways, fashion and etiquette of the happy few. The plates where not a big success because Freudenberg had no knowledge of the French high society customs. At one point, (1773) Freudenberg disappeared all together, thus never finishing the series. Some of these plates are finished by others in this case Romanet. The plate measures: 49.5 x 29,5 cm. and is printed on laid paper. Ca. 1770-1780.
