Above Left: This is one of the UGLIEST Regency dresses I've seen. It's also one of the few plates showing a printed fabric. The picture on the Right is one of the prettiest outfits! Both are Ackermann's, tho the captions were cut off.
Below: One plate from Ackermann's, one from La Belle Assemblee. Plus the original scans. The Ackermann's plate has a signature underneath the lady's chair. I highlighted it as best I could, but I'm not sure I got it right. It's very faded on the original plate.
