EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English engraver John Bell in 1820, showcases an elegant evening dress of the 1820s. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper captures the essence of high-class fashion during this period. The dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns and rich, deep colors, was a symbol of wealth and sophistication. The woman depicted wears a voluminous robe with a fitted bodice, puffed sleeves, and a full, flowing skirt, which was a popular design among the upper classes. The dress is accessorized with a matching shawl, adding an extra layer of warmth and elegance. The fashion plate was likely published in a ladies' magazine or circulated among fashionable circles, serving as inspiration for those seeking to keep up with the latest trends. The intricate line engraving and vibrant color palette make this a true masterpiece of 19th-century fashion art. Today, this fashion plate is a valuable addition to the textile and fashion history collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, providing insight into the social and cultural context of the time.
