Regency Era Fashions - Ackermann's Repository 1810

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 12 was July - Dec 1814

Today I will be posting the fashion plates for the year 1810.

I found the 1810 issues of Ackermann's Repository to be a bit different from all the other years

due to the number of children seen in these fashion plates as well as the one and only plate I've discovered for Men's fashions in this publication.

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.
