EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, created in 1819, showcases a half mourning walking dress worn by a young woman during the 19th century in Britain. The image, which is a hand-colored engraving on paper, depicts the woman in full length, standing outside and promenading in a tranquil setting. She wears a black and white walking dress, which was a common choice for women during the mourning period following the death of a loved one. The dress features a white bodice, a black skirt, and a black bonnet adorned with a white ribbon and a black fur trim. The woman also wears a long black stole draped over her shoulders, adding to the somber yet elegant appearance of the outfit. The intricate details of the dress and the woman's accessories are beautifully captured in this hand-tinted engraving, which adds to its timeless charm. The location of the scene is not clear, but the image transports us back in time to the early 1800s, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and the social customs of the era. This fashion plate is a precious addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of fashion and art from the 19th century.
