EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1827, showcases an elegant promenade dress of the Regency era. The dress, with its empire line and full, voluminous skirt, was a popular choice for women during this period. The empire line, which sits just below the bust, creates an elongated silhouette, accentuating the waist and giving the illusion of height. The long-sleeved gown is adorned with vertical stripes, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise simple design. The fashion plate also features a fashionable hat, which is adorned with a large bow and a hand warmer, a practical accessory for the chilly English weather. The woman in the plate is depicted walking, suggesting that this dress was not only fashionable but also comfortable and practical for outdoor activities. The print is a hand-colored engraving on paper, which adds to its intricate and detailed appearance. The use of color enhances the visual appeal of the dress and brings it to life. The location of the scene is not clear, but the dress and accessories suggest that it could be a fashionable promenade in Britain during the 1820s. This fashion plate is a valuable piece of historical art and a testament to the fashion trends of the time. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print make it a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history and the art of the 19th century.
