EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving by Francis Eginton, titled "Fashionable Woman Admiring her Portrait," we are transported back in time to the Regency era of Bath, England. The fashionable woman, elegantly dressed in the latest styles of the day, gazes intently at her own portrait, hanging on the wall before her. The portrait, also a work of art, captures her beauty and grace, with her delicate features, intricately styled hair, and fashionable attire. Bath, a popular health resort and fashionable spa town during the Regency period, was known for its therapeutic waters and social scene. The New Bath Guide, published by Christopher Anstey in 1807, showcases the town's grandeur and sophistication through a series of engravings, including this one. Francis Eginton, a renowned engraver of the time, expertly captured the woman's expression of admiration and satisfaction with her likeness. The intricate details of her clothing, from the ruffles on her sleeves to the folds of her skirt, are rendered with meticulous precision. The room in which she stands is also richly decorated, with ornate furnishings and fine art adorning the walls. This engraving offers a glimpse into the world of the Regency elite, where fashion, art, and health intersected in the picturesque town of Bath. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past, and the enduring allure of portraiture as a means of capturing the essence of an individual.
