1805 Mary Anning Love In A Mist

Early 19th-Century Short Gown Fabric, c. 1800

This charming print is recreated from an original early 19th-century short gown or Spencer jacket. The design features soft pink circles framed in dark outlines over a delicate lattice background — a typical neoclassical motif of the 1800s, combining precision with femininity.

Such fabrics were popular for everyday wear, offering both comfort and elegance in the transitional years between late Georgian and Regency fashion. Ideal for historical reproduction garments, accessories, or light interiors seeking early 1800s authenticity.

Mary Anning born in May 1799 was an English fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist who became known around the world for the discoveries she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis in the county of Dorset in Southwest England. Anning's findings contributed to changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth.
