EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, created in the 1810s, showcases an elegant opera dress from Britain during the Romantic era. The monochromatic print, with its intricate engraving on paper, transports us back in time to the opulence and sophistication of the 19th century. The young woman, depicted in a full-length back view, is adorned in an intricately designed opera dress. The dress features a high collar, long sleeves, and a voluminous skirt, all adorned with delicate lace and intricate patterns. The dress is a testament to the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the time. The woman's posture and the flowing fabric suggest the grace and poise expected of women attending opera performances during this period. The location of the print is unknown, but it is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. This fashion plate is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the time, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the past.
