EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of fashion history, the "Fashion Plate Album, 1759-1825". Created by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving measures 25cm X 30 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The album itself features marbled card covers that enclose a treasure trove of fashion plates carefully cut from magazines. Spanning over six decades, these plates date back to as early as 1759 with contributions from "The Lady's Magazine" and continue until 1825. A fascinating inscription on the front cover reveals that Mary White began this collection in 1819 and diligently added to it for several years thereafter. Within this enchanting compilation, one can explore evolving trends and styles of both the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The female figures depicted don elegant attire adorned with fashionable hats, capturing the essence of their time. This amalgamation of magazine cuttings forms a unique scrapbook-like experience that provides insight into historical fashion preferences. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exquisite photography skills, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail preserved within this extraordinary artifact. As we delve into its pages, we embark on a journey through time - exploring not only clothing choices but also glimpses into society's tastes and aspirations during this period.
