EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, titled "Parisian Carriage Dress" and created by John Bell in 1819, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the 1810s. The hand-colored engraving on paper depicts an elegant woman dressed in the latest Parisian style, seated in a carriage and adorned with a blue empire gown, flounced skirt, and a matching coat. The empire line, a popular fashion trend of the time, accentuates the small waist and full chest, while the long, flowing skirt adds an air of grace and femininity. The woman's outfit is further accessorized with a plumed hat, a handbag, and a blue bonnet, all in keeping with the fashionable color palette of the era. The coat features a decorative collar and long sleeves, while the gown's bodice is adorned with intricate detailing. The dress also showcases a fashionable handbag, a practical accessory for women of the time. The location of the scene is not explicitly stated, but the title "Parisian Carriage Dress" suggests that it was inspired by the fashionable streets of Paris. The image is a testament to the influence of French fashion on the British Isles during this period, as the style was widely adopted and imitated in Britain. This Fashion Plate is an invaluable resource for fashion historians and enthusiasts, offering a window into the clothing trends and styles of the early 19th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the hand-colored engraving make it a beautiful addition to any collection of historic fashion art. This image is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection of fashion plates and is a reminder of the rich heritage of fashion and art history.
