EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "The Roxborough Jacket - A New Spencer Walking Dress with the Incognita Hat," dates back to 1807 and was created by the renowned English engraver, John Bell. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a hand-colored engraving on paper that showcases the latest fashion trends for women of the upper class during the early 19th century. The central focus of the plate is the elegant Spencer walking dress, which features a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is adorned with intricate line engraving and lettering, adding an elegant touch to the already fashionable attire. The Roxborough jacket, a matching jacket worn over the dress, is also depicted, complete with lapels, cuffs, and a waist sash. The Incognita hat, a popular accessory of the time, is worn by the well-dressed woman in the plate. The hat, which is designed to shield the wearer's identity, adds an air of mystery and allure to the overall ensemble. The color palette of the plate is muted, with the dress primarily in shades of gray and the hat in a rich, dark brown. This fashion plate provides a glimpse into the social class and seasonal trends of the time, with the Spencer walking dress and the Incognita hat being popular choices for women who wanted to make a statement while promenading in public. The intricate details and high-quality craftsmanship of the plate are a testament to the importance of fashion during this period and the skill of John Bell as a fashion illustrator.
