EDITORS COMMENTS
London Evening Dress - Morning Riding Dress," dates back to 1808 and was created by the renowned English engraver, John Bell. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the early 19th century in Britain. The image features a full-length portrait of a woman wearing an evening dress, which she transitions into a morning riding dress for outdoor activities. The evening dress is depicted in a rich green color, with a fitted bodice, empire line, and full skirt adorned with delicate floral patterns. The dress is completed with a matching green headdress, adding an element of coordination and harmony to the ensemble. Upon closer inspection, the woman is seen holding a riding whip, indicating her intention to mount a horse for a morning ride. She wears a riding habit, consisting of a robe with a belted waist, a high collar, and long sleeves. The contrast between the elegant evening gown and the practical riding dress highlights the versatility and adaptability of women's fashion during this period. This fashion plate is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal norms of the time. The engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire fashion enthusiasts and historians alike." The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this exquisite piece of historical art in its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This fashion plate is a valuable addition to any collection of historic fashion, showcasing the evolution of women's apparel and the artistic skill of John Bell.
