EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "An Evening Ball Dress - A Parisian Winter Dress," dates back to 1807 and was created by the renowned English engraver, John Bell. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper showcases an elegant Parisian woman dressed in the latest fashion trends of the time. The dress, an empire gown with an empire line, is a beautiful example of the opulence and elegance of the early 19th century. The dress is adorned with a green color, a popular hue during the Regency era, and is accessorized with a white shawl and a head dress or headdress, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. The engraving also depicts the woman wearing a white evening gown with a bell-shaped silhouette, a style that was also popular during this period. The dress is reminiscent of the French influence on British fashion during this time, as Paris was considered the fashion capital of Europe. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors of this fashion plate make it a valuable piece of historic art and a testament to the rich fashion history of the 19th century. This engraving is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing heritage art and historical artifacts.
