EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, titled "Parisian Evening Dress," is a captivating example of women's fashion in the early 19th century. Created by renowned British engraver John Bell in 1819, this hand-colored engraving on paper showcases the elegant and sophisticated style of Parisian haute couture during this period. The dress, with its empire line and long sleeves, is adorned with intricate trim and a vibrant purple color, adding to its allure. The empire gown, a popular trend during the Regency era in both Britain and France, features a fitted bodice that falls away into a full skirt, accentuating the waist and creating a graceful silhouette. The dress is completed with a matching head dress or headdress, adding an air of refinement and elegance. This fashion plate, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion and the enduring influence of Parisian design on women's clothing during the 1810s. The intricate detail and vibrant color of this engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historic fashion and art.
