Perfumery Prepared for the Emperor of China by Alex, Perfumer: A Regency Era Plan and Elevation of a Gothic Cottage in London This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Perfumery Prepared for the Emperor of China by Alex," is an intriguing glimpse into the world of Regency-era perfumery and the aristocratic patronage of the arts. The image, published in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts in London in 1816, showcases a detailed plan and elevation of a charming gothic cottage, home to the renowned perfumer, Alex. The ground floor of the cottage features a spacious parlor, where the perfumer would have received clients and showcased his creations. Adjoining the parlor is a dining room, where elegant banquets and refined dinners would have been held. The central hall, with its grand staircase, leads to the first floor and the private quarters. The first floor comprises a series of rooms, including a bedroom, a dressing room, and a study. The perfumer's workshop is located in the attic, where the intricate process of creating fragrances would have taken place. The basement houses a kitchen, a larder, and a scullery, where the daily meals would have been prepared. The grounds surrounding the cottage are meticulously designed, featuring a lawn rolled by a groundsman, evoking the tranquility and elegance of the Regency period. The attention to detail in this engraving reflects the high regard in which perfumers were held during this era, as their creations were considered essential components of aristocratic life. This image offers a unique insight into the world of perfumery, the Regency era, and the aristocratic patronage of the arts, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical prints or studies on perfumery and Regency-era architecture.
