EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fashion plate, titled "Afternoon Promenade Dress," dates back to 1813 and was created by renowned British engraver John Bell. The hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegant fashion trends of the 1810s in Britain. The central focus of the image is an afternoon promenade dress, featuring an empire line and a full, voluminous skirt. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and loose-fitting bodice, was a popular choice for women during this era. The long-sleeved dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace, adding to its feminine charm. Accessories play a significant role in completing the look. A fashionable hat with a wide brim and a ribbon bow sits atop the woman's head, shielding her from the sun. A parasol, held in her hand, offers additional protection. A shawl, draped over her shoulders, adds a touch of elegance and warmth. The fashion plate also features other garments and accessories, such as a robe and a pair of parasols, suggesting that these items were popular choices for women during leisurely afternoon strolls. The colorful, detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the early 19th century, providing valuable insights into the clothing and accessories of the time. This historic piece is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of fashion and art.
