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.

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.
