EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the 19th century showcases the craftsmanship of Holroyd, a prominent woollen merchant based in Birmingham. The intricate engraving, executed by Cottrell & Son of Birmingham, beautifully captures the essence of this bustling retail hub. The image transports us back to New Street and Cannon Street, where Holroyd's shops stood as architectural marvels amidst the vibrant cityscape. With its grandeur and attention to detail, this print offers a glimpse into the thriving commerce that defined Great Britain during this era. As we explore every corner of this enchanting scene, we are reminded of England's rich mercantile history. The presence of merchants and their establishments symbolizes not only economic prosperity but also British culture at large. This trade card serves as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that has long been ingrained in British society. Beyond its historical significance within Britain itself, this image also reflects Europe's interconnectedness during that time period. It reminds us that trade was not confined to national borders but extended throughout the continent, fostering cultural exchange and shaping European identity. Preserved in private collection for generations before being immortalized through Valerie Jackson Harris' lens for Look and Learn magazine, this extraordinary print allows us to appreciate both artistic mastery and an important chapter in our shared heritage.
