W dzisiejszym poście cofniemy się w czasie o jakieś 70-80 lat. Bardzo lubię mode z tamtych czasów… bez postaci z bajek na sweterkach, bez zbędnych cekinów, które tylko odpadają podczas prania…

To był rok rozbudzonych nadziei, ale i wielkich przemian. Skutki tamtych decyzji odczuwamy do dzisiaj. Na przełomie 1989 i 1990 roku Warszawa również przeżywała transformację. Zobaczcie zdjęcia, które najlepiej obrazują to, co wtedy przeżywało polskie społeczeństwo.

Świadek epoki? To mało powiedziane - Tadeusz Rolke to świadek kilku epok, w dodatku wyjątkowy, bo wszystkie utrwalił na swych fotografiach, a pierwszy aparat kupił jako 15-latek w 1944 roku. Przedstawiamy zdjęcia i fragmenty rozmowy Tadeusza Rolkego i Małgorzaty Purzyńskiej z książki 'Tadeusz Rolke. Moja namiętność'. Wieczór autorski odbędzie się 23 listopada o godz. 19:00 w Leica Gallery na ul. Mysiej 3 w Warszawie. Spotkanie poprowadzi Aga Kozak.

Today I embark on a wonderful exploration of the amazing images found in the pages of the Regency Era publication called Ackermann's Repository. This is a multi-month long project that will probably last the rest of the year but I think you may find the images as entertaining as I have. I hope you will join me on this journey through out the remainder of 2011 as I step back in time 200 years to Regency England. My favorite of the 1809 Ackermann's Repository fashion plates Ackermann's Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufacturers, Fashion and Politics. (Yup - that really was it's full title; but it was also know as: Ackermann's, Ackermann's Repository or just the Repository depending on various source.) Ackermann's Repository was a popular publications in England from 1809-1829. ***** Ackermann's under its full title was actually published from Jan 1809 - Dec 1828. Then in January of 1829 Ackermann's Repository of Fashion launched. The Fashion only version of the repository was short lived and later became part of La Belle Assemblée. 1809 Cover page to Ackermann's showing it's full title. I have found the articles and illustrations in Ackermann's Repository to be a fascinating glimpse into that time period. One of my favorite staples of the magazine are the fashion plates. Each monthly issue usually included 2 Fashion plates, giving on average a total of 24 Fashion plates for the year. Though the magazine was published monthly; specially bound volumes were available from Ackermann's. These "bound" book versions, consisted of a 2 volume set for each year it was in publication. Ackermann's Repository "Bound" Series 1 ran from 1809 - 1815 with a total of 14 Volumes for Series 1 Series 1 Vol 1 was Jan - June 1809 Series 1 Vol 2 was July - Dec 1809 Series 1 Vol 3 was Jan - June 1810 Series 1 Vol 4 was July - Dec 1810 Series 1 Vol 5 was Jan - June 1811 Series 1 Vol 6 was July - Dec 1811 Series 1 Vol 7 was Jan - June 1812 Series 1 Vol 8 was July - Dec 1812 Series 1 Vol 9 was Jan - June 1813 Series 1 Vol 10 was July - Dec 1813 Series 1 Vol 11 was Jan - June 1814 Series 1 Vol 12 was July - Dec 1814 Series 1 Vol 13 was Jan - June 1815 Series 1 Vol 14 was July - Dec 1815 Today I will be posting the fashion plates for the year 1809. Vol 1 Jan - June 1809 Vol 2 July - Dec 1809 I hope you enjoy!

Fashion plate description for September 1809 This is one of the fashion plate descriptions. I chose the one for September that showed a Mourning dress (not to be confused with a morning dress) During this time period there was a fairly strict code of dress when a member of the family died. There was "full mourning" - of all black and "half mourning" - gray and lavender were allowed; then depending on how you were related to the deceased determined for what period of time you wore full and then half mourning. England was at war against the French (Napoleonic War 1803 - 1815) so there were a considerable number of widows and families in mourning during at this time. Ackermann's addressed is issue frequently by including fashion plates depicting Mourning fashions and in later years when the Princess, Queen and then later King George III died those issues also showed several fashion plates with mourning dresses. I hope you have enjoyed viewing Ackermann's Repository fashion plates for 1809. Check back soon for the 1810 Fashion plates.
