EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Paris Ball Dress, 1833," is an exquisite example of early 19th century fashion. The creator of this engraving is unknown, but it is believed to have been published in The Ladies' Pocket Magazine, a popular fashion publication in Britain during the 1830s. The full-length image depicts a young woman in a beautiful pink ball gown, adorned with intricate floral patterns and colorful hand-tinting. The dress features an off-the-shoulder neckline, a fashionable trend during this period, and a full skirt that billows out gracefully. The woman wears a matching fascinator or headdress, adorned with roses, adding to the overall elegance of the ensemble. The Parisian influence on fashion during this time is evident in the design, with its sophisticated and refined aesthetic. The woman in the image stands with her back to the viewer, looking away, adding an air of mystery and allure. The hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the attention to detail and artistry of the time, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. Today, this beautiful fashion plate is preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion history.
