EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Carriage Dress, 1821," is a captivating example of women's fashion during the early 19th century in Britain. Created by renowned English engraver John Bell, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era's clothing. The dress, depicted in the print, is an empire gown with a high waistline and a long, flowing skirt. The empire line, popular during this period, accentuated the natural curves of the female form and allowed for freedom of movement. The dress is accessorized with a pelisse, a short, fitted jacket, and a plumed hat, adding an air of refinement and luxury. The carriage dress was a popular choice for travel, as it allowed women to remain comfortable and stylish while on the move. The dress is depicted in a rich, vibrant color palette, with the hat and plumes adding a pop of contrasting color. The intricate detailing and delicate embellishments on the gown and hat are a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This fashion plate is an invaluable resource for those studying the history of fashion and clothing during the 1820s. It provides insight into the styles, trends, and aesthetics of the time and serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of historic fashion. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
