EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by renowned English publisher Rudolph Ackermann in 1819, showcases an elegant walking dress of the Regency era. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-colored on paper, transports us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fashionable world of British high society. The fashionable woman depicted in this plate wears an empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full, voluminous skirt. The bodice, adorned with delicate floral patterns, is fitted at the waist and falls loosely over the hips. A matching pelisse, or robe, is worn over the gown, providing an extra layer of warmth and protection against the elements. The lady's bonnet, trimmed with a plume and a ribbon, sits atop her head, while a hand warmer, or muff, is held in her left hand. The walking dress, also known as a promenade dress, was designed for leisurely strolls in the park or around town, allowing for ease of movement and comfort. The fashion plate, a popular form of art during the Regency era, was widely circulated and collected, reflecting the cultural obsession with fashion and style. This particular plate, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the artistry of its creators.
