Godey: Images of Adult Men, list of figures

Note on the sources: I have included images from the Lady's Books of July-December 1855, January-June 1856, January-December 1857, and January-December 1858 for a total of thirty-six issues. June-December 1856 is unavailable. Also missing are many of the color plates. However, in the color plates available as well as in reproductions of the color plates I have seen in other sources, no men appear. We will have to assume that that is the case for at least the majority of plates.
