EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1814, showcases an elegant walking dress from the Regency era. The dress, characterized by its empire line and full skirt, was a popular choice for ladies during this period. The empire line, which sits just below the bust, creates an elongated silhouette, accentuating the slenderness of the figure. The dress is adorned with intricate detailing, including a bow at the back and long, fitted sleeves. The bodice is simple and unadorned, allowing the skirt to take center stage. The skirt, with its fullness and voluminous layers, would have required a substantial amount of fabric, making it a significant investment for a lady of the time. The fashion plate also features a number of accessories that were essential to a lady's outfit during this period. A large, wide-brimmed hat shields the wearer from the sun, while a parasol provides additional protection. A small, delicate handbag is slung over the lady's arm, and a pair of gloves completes the look. The print itself is a hand-colored engraving on paper, with vibrant colors adding depth and texture to the image. The intricacy of the detailing is evident in the way the fabric folds and drapes, and the hat and parasol are rendered with a level of realism that speaks to the skill of the engraver. This fashion plate offers a glimpse into the world of Regency-era fashion, providing a window into the clothing and accessories that defined this period in British history. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is home to this and many other historic fashion plates, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of fashion and the arts.
