February’s wallpaper

by HML

Looking Back at Ackermann's Repository on Solitary EleganceFebruary’s wallpaper is now available on Solitary Elegance!  A few people have asked about a widescreen version of the wallpaper, so I’ve added a 1280 x 800 pixel option to the available sizes.

Aren’t these ladies fun?  Miss 1809 (on the left) is labeled a “Dancing Dress” instead of the usual Ball Dress found on other fashion plates, and she certainly is getting into the spirit of the evening.  The plate on the right is a “Walking Dress or Carriage Costume” (how versatile!) from February 1811.  Both models’ poses are so lively in their own way, and  I love the rich gold color of the 1811 plate — still vivid after 200 years.
