EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, titled "Fashionable Walking Dresses," is an engraving from The Lady's Magazine, published in London during the 1810s. The image, dating back to the early 19th century, showcases two elegantly dressed women engaged in a leisurely promenade. The dresses they wear are the epitome of fashionable attire for the time, with full-length, blue and green color-blocked gowns, accessorized with matching bonnets and hats. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, with its intricate details and subtle color palette, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the Regency era in Britain. The women's dresses, featuring high waistlines, full skirts, and long sleeves, were popular choices for outdoor activities, as they allowed for both comfort and style. The location of the scene is not explicitly stated, but the fashionable attire suggests a country or urban setting in England. The two women, standing side by side, exude confidence and sophistication, setting the standard for women's fashion during this period. This art piece, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich fashion history of the 19th century. The hand-colored engraving, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring influence of fashion on culture and society.
