EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned British publisher Rudolph Ackermann in 1813, showcases an elegant ball gown of the early 19th century. The intricately designed dress, with its appliqued floral motifs and hand-tinted colors, was a popular trend among the fashionable elite of Europe and America. The dress is depicted on a female figure leaning on an elbow, allowing for a closer examination of its exquisite details. The fashion plate is a superb example of the high-quality engraving and hand-coloring techniques of the time. The dress is accompanied by a hat adorned with a large, ornate headdress, as well as earrings, gloves, and a necklace, adding to the overall allure of the ensemble. The lettering at the bottom of the plate identifies it as a "Ball Dress," further emphasizing its intended use for formal evening events. This fashion plate offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion culture of the time, showcasing the intricate designs and attention to detail that went into creating beautiful and elegant clothing. The plate is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as an important historical artifact and a reminder of the rich fashion heritage of the past. The plate's timeless beauty continues to captivate and inspire, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in fashion history and the arts.
