EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in the 1810s, showcases an elegant Autumnal Walking Dress from the early 19th century. The intricately detailed engraving on paper captures the essence of the season with its rich, earthy tones and the use of mauve and other autumnal colors. The high-class woman depicted in the plate is dressed in a fashionable promenade gown, featuring a fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. The robe is adorned with delicate lines and patterns, adding to its refined and sophisticated appearance. The Autumnal Walking Dress was a popular choice among upper-class women during this period, who took long walks in the countryside to enjoy the changing colors of the leaves and the crisp autumn air. The dress was also a symbol of wealth and status, as the expensive textiles and intricate designs required to create such a garment were only accessible to those of high social class. The fashion plate also reflects the religious and cultural influences of the time, with the woman's pose and the use of the goddess Diana as a motif. Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, was often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of the autumn season and the harvest. The fashion plate serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends, social norms, and cultural values of the 19th century. This hand-colored engraving is a beautiful example of heritage art and a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion plates or art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this piece in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and study.
