EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Danish Fancy Dress Worn at the Prince Regent's Fête," dates back to the 1810s and was created by the renowned English engraver, John Bell. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper showcases a beautiful Danish costume, which was likely worn as a fancy dress option at the extravagant Prince Regent's Fête, an annual social event held in England during the early 19th century. The Danish costume features an empire gown with a long, flowing skirt, a fitted bodice, and a high, empire waistline. The dress is adorned with a floral border, adding a touch of elegance and femininity to the design. The neckline is adorned with a delicate, red floral border, and the long sleeves are also adorned with intricate floral patterns. The headdress, or head dress, is a striking addition to the ensemble, featuring a tall, plumed hat and a cascading veil, which adds a regal and theatrical touch to the overall look. The border of the fashion plate is also noteworthy, with intricate, hand-drawn designs and a rich, colorful palette. The overall effect is one of opulence and grandeur, reflecting the extravagance and sophistication of the Prince Regent's Fête and the fashionable world of the early 19th century. This historic fashion plate is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection of historic art and fashion, providing a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and entertainment of the past. The intricate details and beautiful colors of the engraving continue to captivate viewers and offer a window into the world of fashion during the 1810s.
