EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1824, showcases an elegant morning dress of the Regency era. The image, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a hand-colored engraving on paper that transports us back in time to the early 19th century. The fashionable woman depicted wears an empire gown with a long, flowing skirt and a fitted bodice, accentuated by a narrow waistline. The empire line, popular during this period, allowed for a more relaxed and comfortable fit. The dress features short, puffed sleeves, adorned with delicate, vertical stripes that add a playful touch to the otherwise refined ensemble. The headdress, or head dress, completes the look with its intricate design, featuring a wide, flat brim and a tall, upright crown. The color palette of this fashion plate is dominated by the vibrant, sunny yellow of the dress, which contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the background. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, from the intricate patterns on the fabric to the delicate folds and wrinkles, speaks to the high-quality craftsmanship of the time. This fashion plate offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Regency-era fashion, providing valuable insights into the clothing trends and aesthetic preferences of the time. As a work of art, it also serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of Rudolph Ackermann and his team, who produced such exquisite and captivating images for their clients in Britain and beyond.
