The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London magazine of art, fashion, manufactures and politics, begun in 1809 for Regency readers with money to spend on dress and furnishing. Hand-coloured plates show single figures in evening and walking dress against plain washed grounds, tinted aquatint landscapes, and line-engraved needlework patterns of sprigged borders, scrolling leaves and berry clusters ready to trace as repeats.
