EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Parisian Walking Dress, 1816," is a captivating example of high fashion during the early 19th century. Created by renowned English engraver John Bell, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegant and refined attire of the Parisian upper class during this period. The image features a fashionably dressed woman, adorned in a beautiful walking dress, strolling along a picturesque Parisian promenade. The dress, a robe of white color, is adorned with intricate line engraving and delicate hand-coloring, adding to its exquisite beauty. The dress, which was considered a seasonal must-have for women of the upper class, is accentuated by a belted waist and full skirt, creating an hourglass silhouette. The Parisian Walking Dress was an essential part of a woman's wardrobe during the 1810s. It allowed women to make fashionable appearances while engaging in leisurely activities, such as taking a stroll in the park or attending social events. The dress was also a symbol of wealth and status, as only the most affluent women could afford such luxurious garments. This fashion plate, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage of fashion history. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the fashion trends and social norms of the time. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant colors of the hand-coloring make this a truly breathtaking piece of art, worthy of admiration and study by fashion enthusiasts and historians alike.
