EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into an exclusive meeting of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1707. The image, sourced from J. R. Green's renowned book "Short History of the English People" published in London in 1893, transports us to a time when guilds and livery companies held significant influence over trade and craftsmanship. The photograph showcases a beautifully designed invitation that embodies the elegance and prestige associated with this esteemed gathering. Its intricate details speak volumes about the meticulous artistry of goldsmithing during this era. Each stroke on the paper seems to whisper stories of skilled artisans who dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. As we admire this historical artifact, we are reminded that such meetings were not merely social occasions but rather important events where members discussed industry trends, shared knowledge, and upheld standards within their profession. The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths played a pivotal role in shaping England's jewelry trade for centuries. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty found within this invitation as well as its cultural significance. It serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us how far we have come since those illustrious days when guilds reigned supreme in nurturing excellence among craftsmen across various industries.
