Ackermann's Repository

[1] Although commonly called Ackermann's Repository, or, simply Ackermann's, the formal title of the journal was Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions, and politics, and it did indeed cover all of these fields.

[2] In its day, it had great influence on English taste in fashion, architecture, and literature.

[4] The last issue of the original Repository, published in December 1828, stated that the following year a new magazine would take its place.

This new magazine, titled The Repository of Fashion, focused solely on fashion and was illustrated with a number of hand-colored and black-and-white plates.

It is believed that soon thereafter, The Repository of Fashion was merged into La Belle Assemblée.
