Note: The Gothic revival of the Regency Period was very substantial with Ackermann’s Repository of the Arts very much in the vanguard of good taste carrying numerous illustrations. (plates 154 to 172) Amongst these were several by AWN Pugin (1812-1852) whose influence during the first half of the 19th. Century was immense. Indeed it was Ackermann who published a book of Pugin’s Gothic Furniture being an assembly of many of the Gothic pieces illustrated in the Repository. Much Gothic furniture is described as “Puginesque” in homage to him.
