EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Promenade Dress," dates back to 1826 and was created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann. The image showcases an elegant woman dressed in the latest fashion of the Regency era, with a focus on the popular empire line gown. The dress features a green, hand-coloured engraving on paper, with long sleeves and a high neckline, typical of the early 1820s. The empire gown, also known as an empire line robe or empire-waisted dress, is characterized by its fitted bodice that falls loosely over the full skirt, creating an elongated silhouette. The woman in the plate wears a matching pelisse, a short, fitted jacket, which was often worn as an outer layer over dresses for added warmth and protection from the elements. She completes her outfit with a fashionable hat, adorned with a large bow, and a hand warmer, a small pouch or bag worn on a string around the wrist to keep hands warm. The image is a testament to the intricacy and attention to detail that went into fashion during the Regency era in Britain. The green colour of the dress adds a pop of vibrancy against the muted tones of the background, making the woman stand out. The engraving technique used by Ackermann, a master of the line engraving process, adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. This fashion plate is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich fashion history of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage and the role that fashion plays in shaping our cultural identity.
