Ackermann's Repository prints

Here are some prints from Ackermann's Repository of Fashion, from 1800-1820.

Christmas Cards

I belong to a Georgette Heyer 'List', where we chat about her books. Each year we have a Card exchange, and I like to make cards using fashion plates from the era (Regency). There were three or four magazines for ladies at the time, the best being Ackermann's Repository. The French Costume Parisien also has splendid plates, although their ladies look to be about 8-foot tall.

Here is this year's card.
