Publisher Description: So far we have followed Rudolph Ackermann's rich publishing career for 10 successful years. We saw him expand his popularity of a saddle maker and carriage builder into the print and book publication. His elegant shop was popular among artists and members of the upper London society. His early adoption of gas allowed the customers to appreciate the fine quality of his art prints in the well lit gallery. His reputation has grown to the extend that for one to be seen at the Ackermann's print shop was to be perceived as sophisticated and tasteful. His books and prints informed the clients about the latest designs in fashion, interiors, furniture and architecture among others. After the death of King George the Third in 1820 we see the return of the mourning fashions on the pages of the Repository followed by increased interest in court, ball and evening styles after the coronation of King George IV in July 1821.
