EDITORS COMMENTS
John Bell's Fashion Plate of a Carriage Dress from 1821 is a stunning example of the high fashion of the early 19th century. This intricately detailed hand-colored engraving on paper showcases a well-dressed woman in an elegant carriage dress, a popular style during the 1820s. The ivory background highlights the rich textures and vibrant colors of the woman's attire. The carriage dress, also known as a riding habit, was a practical yet fashionable choice for women of the upper class. Designed for travel in a carriage, it allowed for ease of movement while maintaining an air of sophistication. The dress features a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and a full, voluminous skirt, all adorned with intricate line engraving and hand coloring. The dress is accessorized with a matching robe, a fashionable addition to keep the wearer warm while traveling. The woman's hat, also part of the ensemble, is adorned with a large bow and feathers, adding a touch of elegance to the outfit. This fashion plate, created by renowned engraver John Bell, is a testament to the importance of fashion in the social hierarchy of the time. The intricacy and detail of the engraving reflect the high class and seasonal trends of the era, making it an invaluable piece of heritage art. Today, this beautiful work is preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
