Victorian Fashion Plates

As it says "Beilage" it was a kind of supplement to what was probably a fashion / ladie's magazine. I am in Switzerland, but have never yet come across from such a magazine from the 19th century - I just have a few early 20th century ones. Victoria might have been a popular name for such a thing in Germany then - Princess Victoria, the daughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain had married the Prussian crown prince in 1858. Off the top of my head one museum that I could think of is the Wien Museum in Vienna, as they also have a fashion collection. A look search in their online collection didn't bring up anything though. In Germany, I'm not sure which museum might hold things like this.

Thank you for taking the time to search on my behalf, Midge. Or Karin?

So the mystery of my Fashion Plate thickens...
