EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, titled "Public Promenade Dress," dates back to 1819 and was created by renowned English engraver, John Bell. The image showcases an elegant woman dressed in the height of 19th-century fashion, donning an empire line gown with a long, flowing skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress, characterized by its simple yet elegant design, was a popular choice for women's daywear during this period. Accessories complementing the dress include a blue bonnet adorned with a bow and a parasol, both essential items for protecting oneself from the sun and rain while strolling in public. The woman wears a pelisse, a robe-like garment, draped over her shoulders, adding an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to her ensemble. The Fashion Plate, hand-colored on paper, is a beautiful example of line engraving, a popular method of printmaking during the 1800s. The intricate details of the woman's dress, accessories, and the surrounding landscape are expertly captured, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and aesthetics of the time. This piece of art is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection of historic fashion plates. The image not only serves as a testament to the rich fashion history of Britain and Europe but also as a reminder of the enduring allure and importance of fashion throughout history. Whether you're a fashion enthusiast, historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of art, this Fashion Plate by John Bell is sure to leave a lasting impression.
