EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, titled "Promenade Dress," dates back to 1816 and was created by renowned English engraver Rudolph Ackermann. The image captures the essence of the Regency era in Britain, showcasing the latest trends in women's fashion. The elegant woman in the print wears an empire gown with an empire line, a popular style during the 1810s. Her dress features a vibrant red color, which was a fashionable hue at the time, and is adorned with intricate white detailing. The woman's outfit is accessorized with a matching pelisse, a short, hip-length jacket, and a handbag. She wears a fashionable hat with a wide brim, which is also hand-colored in the print. The dress is further accentuated by the use of a robe, a long, loose-fitting outer garment, which was often worn over the top of promenade dresses for added warmth and protection from the elements. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the artistic skill of Rudolph Ackermann, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion trends of the time and the cultural context of the Regency era in Britain. The Promenade Dress is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of fashion and art history.
