EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Trade signs: Bankers and Goldsmiths" offers a glimpse into the historical significance of trade signs in England during the 20th century. The image showcases a collection of visually striking logos and trademarks associated with prominent banking institutions such as Lloyds, Westminster, Midland, Barclays, Martins, and National Provincial. The artwork was originally created by an anonymous English School artist for Cecil A Meadows' book "Trade Signs and their Origin" published in 1957. This print is part of a private collection that highlights the intellectual property represented by these iconic trade signs. Trade signs served as visual identifiers for businesses in earlier times when literacy rates were lower. These distinctive symbols acted as beacons to guide customers towards specific establishments. In this lithograph, we see how bankers and goldsmiths utilized unique logos to distinguish themselves from other tradesmen. The inclusion of well-known banking names evokes a sense of nostalgia while also emphasizing the historical importance of these financial institutions within society. It is worth noting that this caption does not mention any commercial use or endorsement; rather it focuses on appreciating the artistic value and historic context behind this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
