"Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français" is a seminal work in the study of fashion history, consisting of a series of fashion plates that were published in Paris from 1778 to 1787. This extensive collection was initiated by publisher Esnauts et Rapilly and is often attributed to the illustrator Claude-Louis Desrais, with the engravings frequently credited to Nicolas Dupin, among others. However, the involvement of Paul Cornu as an author or contributor to this work is not well-documented in historical records.

The "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français" is notable for its detailed depiction of French fashion at the end of the Ancien Régime, just before the French Revolution. The plates illustrate a wide range of social classes and occupations, providing valuable insights into the clothing and styles of the period. The collection is considered one of the most comprehensive and influential records of 18th-century fashion, capturing the intricacies of dress and the nuances of social status through attire.

The work's importance extends beyond mere fashion illustration; it serves as a cultural and historical document that reflects the tastes, mores, and artistic sensibilities of pre-revolutionary France. Scholars and enthusiasts of costume history often reference the "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français" for its accuracy and attention to detail, making it a cornerstone in the study of historical fashion.

While the "Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français" is a well-recognized and significant publication, the specific association with Paul Cornu requires further verification.
