EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Carriage Dress, 1821" by John Bell, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the 1820s in Britain. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-colored on paper, showcases an elegant empire gown, a popular style during this era. The dress, characterized by its high waistline and full, flowing skirt, is worn with a matching pelisse, a long, loose-fitting outer robe. The dress is adorned with delicate blue floral patterns, adding a touch of color to the monochromatic ensemble. The wearer's headdress, featuring a large, elaborate bow, completes the look. The fashion plate also includes a carriage, suggesting that this outfit was intended for travel or a day out. This engraving, held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage of fashion and art from the 19th century. The line engraving technique, a common method used during this time, allows for intricate detail and precision in the depiction of the dress and its accessories. The fashion plate provides valuable insight into the fashion trends and aesthetics of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historic fashion and art. The Carriage Dress, 1821 by John Bell, is a beautiful example of the ornate and sophisticated clothing worn by women in Britain during the early 1800s. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion as a reflection of the social and cultural norms of the time, and as a source of inspiration for modern fashion designers and enthusiasts alike.
