EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1814, showcases an elegant and fashionable walking dress from the Regency era. The full-length engraving on paper is hand-colored, adding vibrancy to the intricate details of the dress and its accompanying accessories. The dress, known as an empire gown or promenade dress, features a high waistline, a narrow bodice, and a full, voluminous skirt. The empire line was a popular trend during the Regency era, which emphasized a slender waist and full hips. The dress is paired with a pelisse, a long, loose-fitting coat, which was often worn as an outer layer to protect against the elements. The hat, with its large brim and ribbon detail, completes the ensemble. The dress is depicted in a rich, deep purple color, which was a popular choice for formal occasions during the Regency era. The hat and pelisse are also in coordinating shades, adding to the cohesive look of the outfit. The woman in the fashion plate exudes confidence and grace as she walks, her posture and demeanor reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the era. This fashion plate is a valuable piece of historic art, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of the 1810s in Britain. It is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it is preserved and celebrated as an important part of fashion history.
