EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in the 1810s, showcases an elegant afternoon dress from the Regency era in Britain. The dress, which dates back to the early 19th century, is depicted in exquisite detail in this hand-colored engraving on paper. The empire gown features a high waistline, an empire line, and short sleeves, which were popular styles during this period. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate stripes, adding to its feminine and elegant appearance. The headdress, or head dress, completes the look with a simple yet elegant design, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall ensemble. John Bell was a renowned British engraver and publisher, known for his fashion plates that documented the latest trends and styles of the time. This particular fashion plate, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a valuable insight into the fashion sensibilities of the 1810s and the influence of Regency-era fashion on women's apparel. The rich colors and intricate details of the engraving not only make it an aesthetically pleasing work of art but also a significant historical artifact that continues to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts alike.
