EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1814, showcases an elegant walking dress of the Regency era. The dress, depicted in vibrant green and white, features an empire line and a full, voluminous skirt that would have been popular among fashionable women of the time. The empire gown, characterized by a fitted bodice and a loose, flowing skirt, was a significant trend during the early 19th century, reflecting the desire for a more streamlined and graceful silhouette. The dress is accompanied by a matching jacket, which can be worn over the gown for added warmth or as a fashionable layering option. A fashionable bonnet, adorned with a delicate ribbon and a feather, completes the ensemble. The woman in the plate carries a handbag, a practical accessory for carrying essentials during a day of promenading or shopping. The fashion plate is a hand-colored engraving on paper, executed with meticulous attention to detail. The intricate patterns on the dress, the delicate folds of the fabric, and the textured details of the bonnet and handbag are all rendered with exceptional skill and artistry. The plate is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Regency-era fashion and the artistic prowess of Rudolph Ackermann, who was known for his innovative and sophisticated fashion plates. This historic art piece is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its timeless charm and aesthetic appeal. The fashion plate offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance, refinement, and style.
