EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in 1822, showcases two elegant outfits popular during the early 19th century in Britain. The first outfit is a morning dress, designed for wear at home or for informal occasions. The empire line gown features a long-sleeved pink robe, cinched at the waist with a sash, and a matching bonnet adorned with a rose. A handbag, also in pink, completes the ensemble. The second outfit is a promenade dress, suitable for afternoon strolls and social engagements. The empire line empire gown, also known as a walking dress, is depicted in a vibrant yellow color. The long-sleeved robe is adorned with intricate detailing, including a decorative belt and a full, voluminous skirt. A matching bonnet, with a tall crown and a wide brim, completes the outfit. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, providing a glimpse into the elegant and refined world of 19th-century British fashion. The use of color and intricate detailing in the illustration adds to its beauty and historical significance. This fashion plate is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as an important reminder of the rich fashion history of the past.
