EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card print showcases the work of William Plowman, a versatile and skilled tradesman from 19th century England. The engraving, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the bustling High Street near Magdalen College in Oxford. William Plowman's expertise spanned various fields including ironmongery, smithing, brazing, tinwork, brush-making, locksmithing, and bell hanging. His business catered to the needs of both locals and visitors alike. As depicted in the image, his store was filled with an array of metalwares and tools for customers to choose from. The card not only serves as an advertisement but also reflects the rich craftsmanship prevalent during that era. It is a testament to Plowman's dedication to his craft and commitment to providing quality products and services. Intriguingly detailed by the English School artists of the time period, this trade card transports us back in time to witness a snapshot of British culture. It reminds us of how important local businesses were in shaping communities and meeting their everyday needs. Through this print by Bridgeman Images on Fine Art Finder platform we can appreciate not only Plowman's contribution but also gain insight into European tradesmanship during that period. This historical artifact allows us to connect with our past while celebrating the ingenuity that has shaped our present-day hardware stores and iron founders across Great Britain.
