EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1819, showcases an elegant walking dress from the Regency era. The dress, designed for the affluent women of Britain during the early 19th century, is depicted in black and white, with intricate line engravings that highlight its exquisite details. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full, voluminous skirt, is paired with a pelisse, a long, fitted coat that was popular for outdoor wear. The dress is adorned with plumes and other ornamental details, adding an air of sophistication and opulence. The woman in the illustration is shown seated, perhaps taking a break during her promenade, with a head dress or headdress that complements the overall ensemble. The fashion plate provides a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time, showcasing the intricate details and elegant designs that were popular during the Regency era. The use of engravings on paper was a common method for producing and distributing fashion plates, allowing women to keep up with the latest styles and trends. This historic fashion plate is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved and studied for its cultural and historical significance. The image serves as a reminder of the rich fashion history of the 1810s, and the influence that designers and publishers like Rudolph Ackermann had on shaping the fashion landscape of the time.
