In the middle of the 19th century, the female public could contemplate French fashion illustrations published in journals such as Le Moniteur de la Mode (1843-1913), annexed in Brazilian publications, such as O Jornal das Senhoras (1852-1855). These piec-es were accompanied by a description that indicated the time and places recommended to use those garments, as well as the type of fabric, parts of the clothing, colors, shapes, hairstyles and other props that comprised the illustration. Based on this relationship be-tween text and image, we propose an analysis of the social role that the editor-in-chief of O Jornal das Senhoras played in the process of transference and mediation of the Parisian fashion culture, shaping the tastes and habits of dress in the nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro through the translated texts and fashion illustrations attached to this print.
