EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in 1812, showcases an elegant evening dress from the 1810s. The dress, depicted in this hand-colored engraving on paper, is an excellent representation of the fashion trends during this period in Britain. The Empire line, characterized by the dress's high waistline and full skirt, was particularly popular among ladies of the time. The short-sleeved gown, which falls just above the ankles, is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace detailing. The dress is completed with a shawl draped over the shoulders, adding an air of sophistication and elegance. The seated figure in the plate wears a tall, conical headdress, which was also a common accessory during this era. The engraving, with its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, provides a glimpse into the fashionable world of the early 19th century. This historic art piece, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serves as an important reminder of the rich fashion heritage of Britain and Europe during this period. The fashion plate not only showcases the aesthetic trends of the time but also offers insight into the cultural and social norms of the era. With its timeless beauty and historical significance, this fashion plate continues to captivate and inspire fashion enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
