EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length engraving, titled "Fashion Plate (Walking Dress), 1818," is a captivating example of women's fashion during the Regency era in Britain. Created by renowned publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases an elegant woman dressed in the latest mode. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full skirt, is adorned with intricate patterns and a brown color palette, making it a popular choice for the 1810s. The empire line, which accentuated the natural curves of the female form, was a defining feature of this era. The woman wears a matching pelisse, a long, loose-fitting outer robe, which was essential for protecting against the elements while strolling in the countryside. Her bonnet, adorned with a plume, completes the outfit, adding a touch of sophistication and style. A handbag, a practical accessory for carrying essentials, is slung over her arm. The detail in this engraving is remarkable, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns on the bonnet and the woman's shoes. This fashion plate, which is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Regency-era fashion. It is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time, and a reminder of the importance of fashion as a reflection of society and culture.
