This is my favorite from the 1810 Ackermann's Repository fashion plates This is my 2nd installment of fashion plates from Ackermann's Repository - Regency era magazine. Ackermann's Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufacturers, Fashion and Politics. was a popular publications in England from 1809-1829. (The 1829 issues were printed as "Ackermann's Repository of Fashion".) I have found the articles and illustrations 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 1810.

The Dec 1810 issue of Ackermann's shows items of clothing that can be worn by ladies who are in mourning. Here again not only was the wearing of mourning a tradition but England was at war against the French (Napoleonic War 1803 - 1815) and there was an large number of families in mourning due to the losses of war. The Fashion plates in Ackermann's Repository are a joy to see on their own; but the descriptions that accompanied each item are equally fascinating to me. There is just something so eloquent in the spoken and written word of the Regency Era. Description for Sept 1810 Fashion plates 17&18 I can see how these old records would be of great use to historical romance writers and Hollywood costume designers. Not only do you get a beautiful picture but you know the fabrics, laces, colors and hairstyles that were of the latest fashion...at least according to Ackermann's I hope you have enjoyed viewing Ackermann's Repository fashion plates for 1810.
