EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned British engraver John Bell in 1822, showcases two elegant and fashionable outfits of the 1820s - a morning dress and a promenade costume. The morning dress, depicted on the left, is an empire line gown in a pale pink color, featuring a high waistline, long sleeves, and a full skirt. The dress is accessorized with a simple white bonnet adorned with a rose, and a handbag in a complementary shade. The empire line, popular during this period, allowed for a more natural posture and a sleek silhouette. On the right, the promenade costume, also known as a walking dress, is shown in a vibrant yellow color. It follows the same empire line and features a robe-like overdress, which can be worn open or closed with a sash. The outfit is completed with a matching hat and a handbag. The concept of morning dress and promenade costume was essential for the British upper class during the Regency era, reflecting their appreciation for fashion and social etiquette. This hand-colored engraving on paper, with its intricate details and fine lines, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural heritage of the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of the past.
