EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century trade card, titled "Engraver and Printer, Bland" offers a glimpse into the bustling world of commerce in London. The print showcases an English School's engraving depicting a scene filled with vibrant activity. In the foreground, a young boy stands proudly holding a walking stick while sporting traditional attire of the era. He represents Bland, an esteemed Engraver and Printer whose business was located at 39 King Street in Snows Hill during 1771. The charming landscape behind him reveals a picturesque country setting, complete with rolling hills and quaint cottages. This idyllic backdrop serves as an advertisement for Bland's services, enticing potential customers to explore his offerings. A mischievous dog playfully accompanies the boy on his journey through this vibrant scene. Their presence adds warmth and charm to this snapshot of daily life in 18th-century London. Trade cards like these were essential marketing tools for businesses during this period. They provided valuable information about merchants' locations and services while also showcasing their products or specialties. This particular trade card captures not only the essence of Bland's occupation but also highlights the importance of advertising in driving commerce forward. It is a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that has long been associated with London's thriving business enterprises. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images, we can now appreciate this historical artifact that sheds light on both past trading practices and artistic craftsmanship from centuries ago.
