The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics
Rudolph Ackermann's monthly London miscellany of arts, manufactures, fashions and politics, begun 1809 and bought by genteel British readers for its hand-coloured plates. Full-length figures in Regency walking, morning and evening dress stand against plain or lightly sketched grounds, paired with engraved borders of scrolling flowers and paisley for needlework: usable silhouettes, bonnet and shawl detail, and repeatable ornament strips.
