Title
Fashionable full dress for July 1799
Description
The accompanying article in 'The Lady's Monthly Museum' is entitled, The misfortune which too often attends the possession of beauty, and reads:

Although beauty is allowed to be one of the most desirable, it is certainly one of the most dangerous possessions that can fall to the female lot....
unless it is guarded by principle and defended by prudence, becomes the ruin of virtue, and the destruction of innocence; and even when adorned with these perfections, it is often the source of the most severe misfortunes.
