EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned British artist John Bell in 1822, showcases an elegant carriage costume of the 1820s. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper captures the essence of fashionable women's wear during this period in Britain. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full, flowing skirt, is a popular choice for the fashionable ladies of the time. The empire line, which accentuates the natural waist, is a defining feature of this elegant dress. The gown is further enhanced with a fur trim, adding a touch of luxury and warmth. The headdress, or head dress, is an essential accessory, adding a feminine touch to the outfit. The hand warmer, a practical addition, is elegantly designed to match the dress, demonstrating the attention to detail and sophistication of the era. The carriage costume is a concept that reflects the fashionable travel attire of the time, as women often dressed up even for a journey in a carriage. The rich color palette of the engraving, with its muted tones and intricate patterns, adds to the overall charm and allure of this historic piece. This Fashion Plate, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the enduring appeal of historic fashion and the artistry of John Bell. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the 19th century.
