The ad for the ladies sounded very interesting when I thought it was for an 1800&#39;s version of a facelift.

I love old books and that one is really wonderful! The picture of the fashion plate ladies reminds me of a few framed pictures I&#39;ve got called Godey&#39;s Ladies. I think I have about 7 of them! When we had our victorian home I had them on alot of the walls.
