EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Marine Dress," is an engraved and hand-colored print from the Ladies' Pocket Magazine, created by renowned British artist John Bell in 1824. The full-length image showcases an elegant evening gown of the 1820s, featuring an empire line, long sleeves, and a full skirt adorned with intricate, geometric patterns. The marine-inspired dress is accentuated by a matching shawl, adding a touch of sophistication and grace. The model's headdress, adorned with a plume, completes the ensemble, making it a perfect representation of the fashionable attire of the time. The engraving, with its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of John Bell. This historic piece, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century British fashion and the enduring allure of historic clothing.
