EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Morning Walking Dresses," is a beautiful example of early 19th century fashion from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Created by renowned British engraver John Bell in 1808, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegant morning dresses that were popular during the Regency period in England. The full-length image features two ladies in full regalia, each wearing an empire line gown with a high waistline and full, voluminous skirts. The dresses are trimmed with ermine, a luxurious fur often used for royal and high-society clothing. The ladies' headdresses, adorned with feathers and flowers, complete their elegant ensembles. The left figure wears a morning promenade dress, which was designed for leisurely strolls in the park or countryside. Her gown is a vibrant shade of blue, with a delicate floral pattern and a fitted bodice. The right figure wears a morning walking dress, which was more practical for longer outings. Her gown is a rich red color, with a simple design and a full, flowing skirt. This fashion plate is a testament to the beauty and elegance of 19th century fashion, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and fashionable women of the time. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns of the headdresses, are truly a sight to behold. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a truly captivating work of art.
