The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London periodical, begun in 1809, mixed fashion reports, design, commerce and politics for prosperous British readers. Hand-coloured aquatint plates show Regency evening and walking dresses with trimmed hems and puffed sleeves, plus street views of terraces and country villas under pale washed skies, supplying period costume silhouettes, architectural elevations and soft aquatint colour.
