EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1817, showcases an elegant evening dress from the Regency era. The dress, characterized by its empire line and short sleeves, was a popular choice for women during the early 19th century. The empire line, which sits just below the bust, creates an elongated silhouette, accentuating the slenderness of the wearer. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns, adding a touch of femininity and elegance. The print is a hand-colored engraving on paper, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. The dress is depicted against a plain background, allowing the intricacies of the design to take center stage. The headdress, adorned with a delicate necklace and jewels, completes the look, adding an air of sophistication and glamour. This Fashion Plate is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Britain during the 1810s. It provides a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and serves as an important historical document. The use of color and the skillful engraving techniques employed by Ackermann make this print a true work of art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection. It is a reminder of the rich fashion history that has shaped our world and continues to inspire us today.
