About This Item
Good run of six monthly issues of this influential magazine, Third Series, Volume IV, July to December 1824, bound in one volume.
A fascinating view of the taste of London high society in the year 1824.
Complete with all 29 handcoloured engravings of fashion, landscapes, architecture and furniture, 6 engravings of needlework patterns.
Each issue typically with two handcoloured architecture plates, two handcoloured London fashion plates, one handcoloured interior plate (furniture, curtains, etc.) and one needlework pattern.
The fashion plates unsigned but attributed to the Arbiter Elegantiarum (Thomas Uwins). The plates show fashionable women in morning and promenade dresses, elegant opera and ball gowns, etc.
The architecture plates mostly landscape scenes showing stately homes and gardens of the aristocracy by John Gendall. The Marquis of Stafford's seat at Trentham Hall, actor-manager David Garrick's house on the Thames Hampton House, Egyptologist Richard William Howard Vyse's house at Stoke Place, the Palladian style Villa at Richmond known as Miss Palmer's Villa, Viscount Sidmouth's New Lodge in Richmond Park, architect Sir Christopher Wren's Royal Observatory at Flamstead House, poet Lord Byron's house at Newstead Abbey, the neoclassical manor Nutwell Court, the Duke of Bedford's seat Woburn Abbey with its deer park landscaped by Humphry Repton, etc.
One plate shows the Sicre Gully Pass in Bengal, India, as depicted by Lt. Col. Forrest.
The furniture plates include a luxurious sofa and two dining chairs by upholsterer John Taylor of Covent Garden, alcove window curtains, a set of sofa table, chair and footstool, etc.
Ackermann's Repository of Arts ran from 1809 to 1828. At four shillings an issue, it was an expensive magazine, aimed at the very richest of English society. In addition to the luxurious colour plates, the text offered travel writing, poetry, French fashion reports, art gallery reviews, literary criticism, society gossip, music reviews, general news and legal reports.
Leather bindings with gilt title, year and volume number, spine with five raised bands rubbed with slight loss to top, marble boards scuffed, marble endpapers, interior free of foxing, but a few finger smudges and spots, all plates with fine colouring, mostly under tissue guards.
