The artists repository and drawing magazine: exhibiting the principles of the polite arts in their various branches
The Artists Repository and Drawing Magazine is a 1790 English periodical of engraved plates intended for students and practitioners of the polite arts, issued in London by C. Taylor. Its pictures are oval and roundel prints in red-brown or black-line engraving, with allegorical figures such as Justice, Night and Persuasion set in laurel or ribbon frames, plus a later page of classical male and female figures in drapery studies; a designer might borrow the laurel borders, cloud settings and draped poses.
