The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London magazine of art, fashion, manufactures and politics, issued from 1809 for a genteel British readership interested in dress, furnishing and country seats. Hand-coloured aquatint plates show single fashion figures in walking and evening dress with ruffled hems and plumed headdresses, alongside views of villas and country houses set in lawns and trees, plus decorative and furniture designs; useful for period costume silhouettes, architectural vignettes and soft watercolour palettes.
