EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1813, showcases an elegant opera dress from the Regency era. The exquisite hand-coloured engraving on paper captures the essence of 19th century British fashion, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The opera dress, a popular choice for formal events during this period, features an empire line silhouette, which accentuates the wearer's waist and creates a fluid, flowing effect. The long-sleeved gown is adorned with delicate floral patterns and intricate embroidery, adding to its allure. The dress is completed with a fashionable hat and a handbag, both adorned with ermine trim, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication. The engraving also reveals the latest trends in accessories, such as the high-waisted, full-skirted robe worn over the dress, and the elegant handbag carried by the woman. The hat, with its tall, conical shape and wide brim, was a popular choice for opera-goers, providing both style and protection from the elements. This Fashion Plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich fashion history of the Regency era in Britain. Its intricate details and stunning visual appeal continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic fashion art.
