EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fashion plate, created by renowned English engraver John Bell in 1821, showcases an elegant walking dress of the early 19th century. The intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper captures the essence of high fashion during this period, providing a glimpse into the world of upper-class social norms and trends. The dress, depicted in rich purple hues, is a prime example of the seasonal colors and textiles popular during the 1820s. The full-length gown features a fitted bodice, a high waistline, and a voluminous skirt gathered at the waist, which was a common silhouette for promenade dresses of the time. The robe, worn over the dress, adds an extra layer of warmth and sophistication. The fashionable woman in the plate is shown gracefully walking, her posture and attire reflecting the refined manners and elegance of the era. The intricate line engraving and delicate hand-coloring further enhance the beauty and allure of the dress, making it a true work of art. This fashion plate, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage of fashion history and the enduring appeal of fashionable clothing. The image invites us to explore the intricacies of fashion during the 1820s and to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such exquisite garments.
