EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "La Belle Assemblée" and created by John Bell in 1822, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of high fashion during the early 19th century. The intricately detailed engraving showcases an elegantly dressed woman in a beautiful ball gown, surrounded by various other fashionable attire. The woman's ball gown is a work of art in itself, featuring a rich, deep blue color that is hand-colored over the black and white line engraving. The dress is adorned with delicate white lace and intricate floral patterns, creating a stunning contrast against the dark background. The voluminous skirt is gathered at the waist and falls gracefully to the floor, while the fitted bodice accentuates the woman's figure. The fashion plate also showcases various other fashionable dresses and robes, each with its unique design and color scheme. From a simple home dress in a muted green tone to a vibrant red robe with gold accents, the plate demonstrates the wide range of fashionable options available to women of the upper class during this period. The fashion plate is a testament to the importance of fashion and social class during the 1820s. The well-dressed woman was a symbol of wealth and status, and the latest fashion trends were closely followed by those who could afford them. The intricately detailed engraving, with its hand-colored elements, is a beautiful example of the heritage art of fashion plates and serves as an important historical record of fashion during this period. This fashion plate is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century fashion or art. Its intricate details and beautiful design continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the world of high fashion during the early 1800s.
