The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London miscellany of art, fashion, manufactures and politics, issued from 1809 for a prosperous metropolitan readership. The plates are hand-coloured aquatints: cottages and country houses set in wooded grounds, river and town prospects with tiny figures, plus decorative and dress subjects, offering soft washed skies, foliage silhouettes and small-scale staffage for collage and backgrounds.
