Back-lacing is associated with the Victorian and Edwardian periods (don't even ask about the S-curve corset ::shudders::), although I'm not certain about the Georgian. (Just can't remember).

If I recall correctly, our Revolutionary War period was front-lacing also. I have no idea when we switched over, but sometime long before 1863...

I was surprised to find patterns for Civil War (ours) re-enactment dress in the pattern books at the fabric store. And I'm not talking Halloween costume-variety. These were serious, down to the undergarments patterns. Most interesting.
