EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Afternoon Dress for May, 1800," is an exquisite example of 19th century British fashion. The hand-colored etching on paper showcases two young women, each dressed in full-length afternoon dresses, standing in a picturesque location. The women, one with an apprehensive expression, the other looking away, add a sense of intrigue to the image. The dresses themselves are stunning works of art. The young women wear elegant, high-waisted gowns with fitted bodices and full, voluminous skirts. Their bonnets, adorned with ribbons and flowers, complete their fashionable attire. The dresses are available in both white and yellow, reflecting the light and adding to the overall beauty of the image. The use of hand-coloring and hand-tinting adds depth and vibrancy to the print, making it a true masterpiece of 19th century fashion. The etching technique, with its intricate details and fine lines, further highlights the intricacy and elegance of the clothing. This fashion plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of 1800s Britain. It is a reminder of the importance of fashion as a reflection of the time and culture in which it was created. The image continues to captivate and inspire, making it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or fashion history.
