Some pictures from Ackermanns Repository of Arts

Ackermann's Repository of the Arts.  Regency Fashion Plates
I scanned these plates in a year or so back, and omitted the Title, Dates or comments.  I'll have to go thru my albums to get the info; then add it to the pictures.   These were in such great condition they didn't really need much cleaning up.

Regency Man in Oxford Graduation Robes

This is just a beautiful engraving.  The original is 12"; I shrunk it a little.

BACHELOR of ARTS

Regency Dresses from Lady's Magazine

Not nearly as well engraved or tinted as Ackermann's or La Belle Assemblee, and the paper quality quite grainy.  But they've held up pretty well for 200 years!
