"Tradeswoman: Celebrating the Artistry and Craftsmanship of Women in 18th and 19th Century Trades" Step back in time with these captivating trade cards, showcasing the remarkable work of tradeswomen during the period of French Costumes from 1750 to 1800. From engravers to printers, these women left an indelible mark on their respective industries. One such card features William Taylor, a skilled engraver, embosser, and printer from the 19th century. His trade card beautifully captures his expertise and attention to detail. Mrs Holt's Italian Warehouse is another fascinating example. This London Trade Card highlights her establishment as a hub for exquisite Italian goods during this era. The late gunmaker John Knubley's trade card offers a glimpse into his legacy as one of the finest craftsmen between 1750 and 1795. His intricate designs continue to inspire awe even today. Diving further into this world of tradeswomen, we encounter D. MacDonald - an accomplished engraver, lithographer, and letter press artist whose talents spanned both the late 18th and early 19th centuries. John Steell's trade card showcases his mastery as a carver, gilder, and printseller during the thriving artistic scene of the nineteenth century. His work undoubtedly adorned many homes at that time. Samuel Brunn's trade card sheds light on his prowess as a gunmaker active between 1795-1820. The intricacies displayed within his design are testament to his dedication to craftsmanship. Robert Sayer & Co. , renowned mapmakers, chart sellers, and printsellers in the nineteenth century also had their own impressive trade card that showcased their commitment to quality products. Burgiss Lithographic Drawing Books' vibrant trade card from 1820 invites us into a world where artistry meets education – offering aspiring artists valuable resources for honing their skills.
