EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1823, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the Regency era in Britain. The full-length engraving on paper captures the essence of the Empire gown, a popular style of the time characterized by its empire line, which sits just below the bust, creating an elongated silhouette. The short-sleeved dress is adorned with intricate details, from the delicate floral pattern on the bodice to the elegant folds of the skirt, which are accentuated by the use of color and hand-colouring. The wearer dons a fashionable hat with a large, ornate brim, and wears a pair of short white gloves to complete the ensemble. Accessories such as a necklace and earrings add an air of opulence to the outfit. This historic art piece, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the rich fashion history of the 19th century and the enduring allure of Regency-era style.
