EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1829, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the Regency era in Britain. The full-length engraving on paper, hand-coloured in vibrant hues, depicts a graceful woman wearing an empire gown with a short waistline and full, voluminous skirt. The dress features short sleeves, a high neckline, and a delicate, sheer shawl draped over the shoulders. The woman's head is adorned with an elaborate headdress, complete with a diadem-style headband, feathers, and a cascading veil. Her jewelry includes a necklace with a large, intricately designed pendant and earrings. The dress, with its empire line and full skirt, was a popular choice for formal occasions such as balls and other social events. This fashion plate, a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the 19th century, is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offering a glimpse into the world of historic women's fashion and the enduring allure of Regency-era style.
