EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English engraver John Bell in the 1810s, showcases an elegant and fashionable walking dress from the early 19th century. The intricately detailed engraving on paper, with hand coloring added to bring the image to life, depicts a well-dressed woman in a green walking dress, accessorized with a matching robe and bonnet. The dress, which would have been considered high fashion at the time, features a fitted bodice, full skirt, and long sleeves. The use of the color green, a popular choice for seasonal clothing, adds a touch of freshness and vitality to the image. The woman's posture and expression suggest a sense of confidence and pride in her appearance, reflecting the importance of social class and religious observance in the dressing habits of the time. This fashion plate, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, providing a glimpse into the world of fashionable attire and textiles of the 19th century.
