EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1707, capturing an invitation to a meeting of the prestigious Goldsmiths Company. The print, part of the Bagford Collection at the British Museum, is an illustration from John Richard Green's A Short History of the English People. The image showcases intricate heraldry and coat of arms, symbolizing the esteemed status held by this livery company in 18th and 19th century England. The Goldsmiths Company played a significant role in metalworking and goldsmithing occupations during that era. In this snapshot from history, we witness a gathering of skilled individuals who dedicated their lives to mastering their craft. Their signatures adorn the invitation, serving as a testament to their expertise and professionalism within this guild. Located in London's bustling City district, this meeting brought together like-minded individuals who shared a common trade. It was here that ideas were exchanged, techniques refined, and connections forged among these talented metalworkers. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this image while allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of our rich heritage and how professions such as goldsmithing shaped our country's past.
