About this Lot
Description
[R. ACKERMANN, publisher. – Thomas UWINS and others (artists)]. [A bound collection of 360 hand-colored fashion plates, extracted from ‘The Repository of Arts’]. [London: 1809-1828]. 2 volumes, octavo. Later green morocco gilt, by Francis Bedford. *The Repository of Arts (also the name of Ackermann's shop in the Strand) ran to forty volumes published in monthly issues between 1809 and 1828. The magazine is particularly valuable for tracing the development of fashion during this long period, for which there is no other comparable publication. (2)
