This stunning fashion plate, titled "Baronial Helmet & Arundel Fete Dress," is a captivating example of the elegant and ornate fashion trends of the 1810s in Britain. Created by renowned fashion engraver John Bell, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases a full-length image of a lady dressed in the height of fashion for a grand ball or fete. The lady's dress, known as an Arundel Fete Dress or Empire Gown, features a simple yet elegant empire line silhouette, with short sleeves and a fitted bodice that accentuates the waist. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate embroidery, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. The short sleeves are adorned with plumes, adding an element of playfulness and whimsy to the design. The lady's headdress, or baronial helmet, is a striking accessory that adds a regal and elegant touch to the ensemble. The helmet is adorned with feathers, pearls, and jewels, giving the wearer an air of grandeur and opulence. The neckline of the dress is accentuated with a beautiful necklace, adding an extra layer of glamour to the look. The fashion plate also features a shawl draped over the lady's shoulders, adding an extra layer of warmth and texture to the outfit. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the engraving make this a truly breathtaking piece of historic art. This fashion plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of fashion in the early 19th century and serves as an inspiration for fashion enthusiasts and historians alike.
