EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, created by renowned British engraver John Bell in the early 1810s, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the Regency era in Britain. The full-length, hand-coloured engraving on paper captures the essence of the empire gown, a popular style during this period characterized by its empire line, which hugs the bust and then flares out to the ground. The dress is adorned with intricate detailing, including a delicate floral pattern and a plumed headdress that adds an air of grandeur and opulence. The color palette, dominated by rich hues of burgundy and gold, further enhances the dress's regal appearance. This fashion plate, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the historical context of women's clothing during the 19th century and serves as an important artifact of the time. The lacemade sleeves, high neckline, and full skirt are all hallmarks of the era, making this piece a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history or the arts.
