EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in the 1810s, showcases an elegant walking dress from the Regency era of the early 19th century. The dress, characterized by its empire line and full skirt, was a popular choice for women during this period, allowing for freedom of movement while maintaining an air of sophistication. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-colored on paper, reveals the dress's delicate features, including its fitted bodice, puff sleeves, and the fashionable pelisse, or short jacket, worn over the top. The dress is completed with a fashionable headpiece, a handbag, and a robe or robeau, which was often worn as an outer layer for warmth or protection from the elements. The image captures the essence of the Regency promenade dress, which was designed for ladies to take leisurely walks in the park or around town, displaying their fashionable attire and social status. The fashion plate, a valuable historical artifact, offers a glimpse into the clothing trends and cultural norms of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historic fashion or art. This hand-colored engraving, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the artistry of the past. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement.
