EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned British engraver John Bell in 1820, showcases the elegant and refined fashion trends of the early 19th century. The image features a woman dressed in the height of fashion for a promenade, with an empire line walking dress in a rich, regal purple hue. The empire gown, a popular style of the time, accentuates the waist and creates a flowing, A-line silhouette. The dress is accessorized with a matching bonnet, adorned with a delicate ribbon and feather detail, and a parasol to shield from the sun. A coat, also in the same shade of purple, is worn over the dress for added warmth and sophistication. A handbag, perhaps made of leather or silk, is slung over the woman's arm, and a hat with a wide brim sits atop her head, adding a touch of whimsy to the ensemble. The intricately detailed hand-coloured engraving on paper captures the essence of British fashion in the 1820s, with its attention to colour, line, and texture. The woman's robe and jacket, both with defined lapels and sleeves, add an air of sophistication and elegance to the outfit. The overall effect is one of refined beauty and timeless style, transporting us back to a bygone era of fashion and elegance. This fashion plate, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring allure of historic fashion and the artistry of John Bell. It invites us to explore the rich history of women's wear and the role of fashion in shaping cultural identity.
