EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1818, showcases an elegant woman dressed in the height of Regency-era fashion. The image, titled "Carriage Dress," captures the essence of British fashion during the 1810s. The woman is depicted wearing an empire gown with a high waistline and full skirt, which was a popular style during this period. The gown is adorned with intricate floral patterns and is paired with a pelisse, a short, fitted coat, and a matching bonnet. The hat features a large, ornate bow and a veil that cascades down the back. The woman's outfit is completed with a robe, which was a fashionable addition to Regency-era attire, often worn as an outer layer for travel or as an evening gown. The dress is hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the engraving on paper. The location of the image suggests a leisurely carriage ride through the English countryside, as the woman looks out the window with a serene expression. This fashion plate is a testament to the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of Regency-era fashion. The use of color and the precise line engraving showcase Rudolph Ackermann's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of the time. Today, this historic art piece is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and fashionable allure.
