EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned British engraver John Bell in 1824, showcases an elegant Carriage Dress of the 1820s. The long-sleeved Empire gown, characterized by its empire line, is adorned with intricate floral patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The dress is accompanied by a pelisse, a short robe with a belted waist, which was a popular accessory for added warmth and protection from the elements. The fashionable lady in the print is depicted wearing a bonnet with a wide brim and a ribbon bow, as well as a parasol to shield herself from the sun. The parasol, a must-have accessory for ladies during this period, adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to the ensemble. This hand-coloured engraving on paper, with its intricate line work and attention to detail, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The print, which is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of 19th century Britain and the elaborate clothing and accessories that defined the era. The Carriage Dress, with its empire line and long sleeves, represented a departure from the simpler styles of the early 1800s and marked a return to more ornate and decorative clothing. This fashion plate, created by John Bell, captures the essence of this period in fashion history and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past.
