EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, dating back to the early 19th century and specifically the 1810s, showcases the elegant morning dress of the time. The image, created as an engraving on paper, is both hand-colored and line engraved, making it a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry of the period. The fashionable woman depicted in the plate is seen disembarking from a boat, her voluminous white morning gown billowing around her as she steps onto the dock. The boat, with its ornate design and elegant boats, suggests a high class and upper social setting. The morning dress, a seasonal attire for women, was typically worn for informal daytime occasions and was characterized by its simplicity and lightness. The white color of the gown, a symbol of purity and innocence, was a popular choice for morning wear. This fashion plate, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage of fashion and art from the 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of high class and well-dressed women of the time.
