This 18th-century trade card, titled "Haberdashers, Edward Griffitts" takes us back in time to a bustling London street. The detailed engraving showcases the vibrant world of commerce and fashion during this era. In the forefront of the image, we see a well-dressed female shopper browsing through an array of exquisite haberdashery items. The shop is filled with hats, gloves, waistcoats, muslins, and other fashionable garments that cater to both men and women. It is evident that Edward Griffitts' establishment was a hub for those seeking quality clothing materials. The scene depicts various activities taking place simultaneously – merchants conversing with customers while others transport goods in horse-drawn carriages along Suffolk Street. This snapshot captures the essence of London's thriving business enterprises at the time. The trade card also highlights Edward Griffitts' commitment to providing reasonable prices for his clientele. His advertisement emphasizes affordable rates without compromising on the finest fabrics and artificial adornments available.
