The artists repository and drawing magazine: exhibiting the principles of the polite arts in their various branches
The Artist's Repository and Drawing Magazine is a late eighteenth-century London periodical of drawing instruction, published in 1788 and issued to amateur artists and students of the polite arts. Its pictures are sepia-toned stipple and line engravings of classical and allegorical figures, cherubs and women set in oval frames with laurel wreaths, offering a designer ready models for vignettes, cameo borders and decorative ornament.
