EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, dating back to 1803, showcases two elegant young women in full-length evening dresses, standing face to face in a charming and intimate setting. The dresses, adorned with intricate blue and white patterns, feature plumes and hand-tinted details, adding a touch of opulence and sophistication. The women are depicted in profile and facing each other, their expressions suggesting a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment as they prepare for an evening soirée. Originally published in The Lady's Monthly Museum, a popular British magazine of the time, this hand-colored engraving on paper offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 19th century. The dresses, with their high waists and full skirts, were typical of the Regency era, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the time. The women's headbands, adorned with plumes, add a playful and feminine touch to their attire, while their hand-held fans provide a practical solution to the warmth of the evening. The location of the image is not clear, but the women's elegant and refined appearance suggests a grand country estate or a fashionable London residence. This beautiful and intricately detailed fashion plate is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and a reminder of the importance of fashion in expressing social status and identity. Today, it is preserved and cherished as a valuable piece of heritage art, on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
