EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the 19th century takes us back in time to High Street, Waterloo Place in Bangor. The intricate engraving by Morris & Co, Birmingham showcases the craftsmanship of H Pritchard, a talented mercer, tailor, and draper. The bustling scene depicted on this print is filled with men, women, and children dressed in fashionable attire of the era. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of clothing and fashion during that period. The attention to detail is remarkable as each figure comes to life with their unique style and expression. From dapper gentlemen discussing fabrics to elegantly dressed ladies perusing garments, every aspect exudes elegance and sophistication. Children can also be seen in this snapshot of history – young boys wearing miniature versions of adult clothing while a child curiously observes the activities around them. H Pritchard's establishment on High Street must have been a hub for those seeking quality garments tailored to perfection. This trade card would have served as an invitation for potential customers to visit his shop and experience his expertise firsthand. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it reminds us of how art can transport us through time. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful techniques employed but also provides insight into society's tastes and aspirations during that period.
