I have always, since student days as a graphic designer, been interested in trade cards and this collection of 18th century ones has an added interest as I have a peruke maker and a paperhanger on my family tree. I love the ‘best of left-off wigges’ I presume that these were second hand?

I have collected books, bookplates, calling cards, rewards of merit, and advertising ephemera with 18th & 19th century fine line engraving for years and would love to acquire some london trade cards from this period.

Do you have any for sale? Or, can you recommend any dealers that I could contact to get some? Thanks again
