The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London magazine of arts, manufactures, fashion and politics, issued from 1809 for a prosperous British readership interested in dress and furnishing. Hand-coloured engraved plates show Regency women in high-waisted gowns with shawls and lace, plus drapery designs — swagged pelmets, fringed valances, curtained beds — useful for period costume detail, trim patterns and soft colour schemes.
