1815 saw the completion of Ackermann's Repository - Series 1. The British public of Regency England loved this publication and it would remain a resounding success for many years to come as they continued with series 2 and series 3 till their final issue in Dec 1828. With this post I will have shown all the fashion plates from Ackermann's series 1 and I hope you will keep checking back in as I post the Regency fashion plates for Series 2 and 3 in future posts. This is one of my favorite 1815 Ackermann's Fashion plates - plate 23 Description of Fashion plates 22 & 23 - Plate 23 is for the above shown Walking Dress A bit about Ackermann's 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".) Ackermann's listed a wide variety of current subject matters to entertain the masses of Regency England. There were political commentaries, poetry, short stories, current events, special exhibit information, stock and commerce reports and other interesting tidbits in its pages. Each issue also contained wonderful color illustrations showing fashions, home decor, public places of interest, architecture and a variety of items that would be of interest to their readers. My favorites are the Fashion Plates and there were usually 2 in each monthly issue. During the twenty year run of this monthly publication, Ackermann's made specially bound volumes available for those who were collecting the issues. These "bound" book versions consisted of a 2 volume set for each year it was published. There were a total of 3 series in that 20 year period. Series 1 began in Jan 1809 (volume 1) and ended with the Dec issue (volume 14) in 1815. Series 2 began in Jan 1816 and ended with the Dec issue in 1822. Series 3 began in Jan 1823 and ended with the final issue in Dec 1828 Ackermann's Repository "Bound" Series 1 ran from 1809 - 1815 with a total of 14 Volumes for Series 1 (click on each year below to be taken to that post) Series 1 - Vol 1 & 2 - 1809 Series 1 - Vol 3 & 4 - 1810 Series 1 - Vol 5 & 6 - 1811 Series 1 - Vol 7 & 8 - 1812 Series 1 - Vol 9 & 10 - 1813 Series 1 - Vol 11 & 12 - 1814 Series 1 - Vol 13 & 14 - 1815 Today I am thrilled to be completing Ackermann's Series 1 by posting the fashion plates for the year 1815.
