Rare: OCLC & KVK locate just one copy in libraries and institutions worldwide: Harvard University Library MA US. This exceptionally rare suite of plates when issued was reviewed by The Spectator where it was described as following on from a series of superb costumes "entitled "Fancy Ball Dresses" of which we have had occasion to speak in terms of admiration and with whose style most of our readers are familiar having seen the plates in the prire shop windows for these few months past. The same clever artist who is a Frenchman by the way has commenced a new series of female costumes denominated "National Ball Costumes" which are got up in the same splendid style of colouring and are equally distinguished for richness of effect and costliness of materials and ornament.
