EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English engraver John Bell in 1824, showcases an elegant and fashionable walking dress of the 1820s. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper captures the essence of British fashion during this period, providing a glimpse into the world of historic women's apparel. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full skirt, is adorned with vertical stripes, adding a modern and dynamic element to the classic design. The empire line, a popular trend of the time, accentuates the natural waist and creates an elongated silhouette. The long-sleeved robe is accessorized with a matching handbag, adding a touch of practicality to the ensemble. The fashion plate also features a fashionable headdress, consisting of a delicate veil draped over a simple bonnet, which adds an air of refinement and elegance to the overall look. The model's posture and confident stride suggest that this dress was designed for promenading in the countryside or around town. This beautiful fashion plate is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the fashion industry during the 19th century. It is now part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
