EDITORS COMMENTS
This fashion plate, created in the 1810s, showcases an elegant young woman dressed in the height of morning fashion from Britain during the early 19th century. The full-length engraving, hand-colored on paper, depicts the young woman seated in a chair, her back facing the viewer, as she admires a book or perhaps a fashion magazine, such as "Le Matin," spread across her lap. Her morning dress, a key element of women's daily attire during this era, is a stunning display of intricate detail and refined taste. The dress itself is a beautiful example of the period's style, featuring a fitted bodice with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full, voluminous skirt. The bodice is adorned with delicate frills and lace trim, adding a feminine touch to the otherwise simple design. A pink bonnet, adorned with a large rose, sits atop her head, completing the ensemble. The fashion plate is a testament to the importance of fashion during this time and the role it played in shaping the cultural identity of the British people. The hand-tinted engraving, with its rich colors and intricate details, also speaks to the artistic and creative spirit of the era. Today, this precious piece of heritage art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serving as a reminder of the fashion trends and artistic achievements of the past.
