EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1822, showcases an elegant evening dress of the Regency era. The hand-colored engraving on paper depicts a graceful woman seated in a luxurious setting, adorned in an empire gown with a short waistline and full, voluminous skirt. The empire line, popular during the early 19th century, accentuates the bust and creates an air of sophistication and refinement. The dress is adorned with intricate detailing, including short sleeves that are delicately puffed at the shoulders and adorned with plumes, adding a touch of elegance and glamour. The gown is completed with a matching robe, worn over the shoulders, and a pair of long, white gloves. The woman's hands are demurely placed in her lap, adding to the overall sense of poise and composure. The fashion plate is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Regency era in Britain, a time when fashion was a form of self-expression and a symbol of wealth and status. The intricate engraving and vibrant colors used in the print further highlight the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. This fashion plate is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its stunning visual representation of fashion history.
