EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Morning & Evening Dresses in Nov. 1, 1807," is a captivating glimpse into the world of fashion during the early 19th century in Britain. Created by renowned engraver John Bell, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's apparel during this period. The image features two distinct outfits, one for morning wear and the other for evening wear. The morning dress consists of a simple yet elegant empire line gown, with a pelisse, or short jacket, worn over it. The gown is adorned with intricate floral patterns, while the pelisse is adorned with a shawl, adding an air of comfort and practicality to the ensemble. The head dress, or headdress, is a simple yet elegant design, featuring a ribbon and feathers. The evening dress, on the other hand, is a more elaborate and ornate design. The empire line gown is adorned with rich, vibrant colors and intricate patterns, creating a stunning visual effect. The gown is paired with a robe, or outer garment, and a grand headdress, featuring a large bow and feathers. The overall effect is one of opulence and grandeur, fitting for an evening out in high society. This fashion plate, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the fashion world during the 1800s. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the fashions of the past to life, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement.
