EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length fashion plate, titled "London Fashions as Worn December 1806," is an exquisite example of 19th-century British fashion. Created by renowned English engraver John Bell, the hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegant and intricate designs that defined the fashion scene during this period. The image features three women dressed in the latest winter fashions of the season. The first woman wears an empire line gown, a popular style of the time, characterized by a fitted bodice that falls loosely over the hips. Her gown is adorned with delicate embroidery and needlework, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. The short-sleeved robe, with its full, flowing sleeves, is both practical for the wintry weather and fashionable. The second woman wears a similar empire gown, but her dress is embellished with colorful, geometric patterns and short, puffed sleeves. The third woman's gown is a full-skirted, short-sleeved frock, which was also a popular choice for winter wear. The gowns are completed with various accessories, such as shawls, hats, and gloves, which were essential for keeping warm during the colder months. The fashion plate is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the time, with each detail meticulously engraved and hand-colored. This beautiful piece of heritage art is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century fashion.
