EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned British publisher Rudolph Ackermann in 1825, showcases an elegant evening dress from the Regency era. The dress, depicted in rich detail through intricate hand-coloring on a finely engraved paper, is an exemplary representation of the Empire line style popular during the 1820s. The Empire line, characterized by its high waistline and short sleeves, accentuates the natural curves of the female form. The dress features a simple yet sophisticated design, with a fitted bodice that transitions into a full, voluminous skirt. The short sleeves, adorned with delicate lace, add a touch of femininity to the ensemble. The dress is completed with a fashionable headdress, which complements the overall look and enhances the wearer's elegance. The gloves, with their long, fitted sleeves, are a necessary accessory for the evening, adding an air of sophistication and completeness to the outfit. The overall color palette of the print is muted and subdued, with soft hues of pink and green, reflecting the refined taste and elegance of the time. This Fashion Plate, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage of fashion and art during the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of fashion during the Regency era and the skillful artistry of Rudolph Ackermann.
