EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Morning Walking Dresses," is a beautiful example of women's fashion in Britain during the early 19th century, specifically in the year 1808. Created by renowned English engraver John Bell, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases an elegant selection of morning dresses and accessories for ladies. The plate features a total of six different morning dresses, each with its unique design and color palette. The first dress is a green empire gown with a long, flowing skirt and short sleeves, paired with a matching hat adorned with a ribbon and feather. The second dress is a white empire line gown with long sleeves and a parasol to shield from the sun. The third dress is a short-sleeved green robe with a high waistline and a parasol to match. The fourth dress is a long-sleeved morning gown in white, with a simple design and a small hat. The fifth dress is a long-sleeved green walking dress with a full skirt and a large, elaborate hat. The sixth and final dress is a short-sleeved white promenade dress with a high waistline and a parasol. Each dress is meticulously detailed, from the intricate patterns on the fabric to the delicate embellishments on the hats and parasols. The use of color, particularly the green and white hues, adds to the overall charm and elegance of the fashion plate. This historic piece is a valuable addition to any collection of fashion, art, or cultural heritage. It offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and provides insight into the daily lives of women in Britain during the 1800s. Today, it is preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
