Some Old London Trade Cards
December 15, 2019
I discovered this selection of old London trade cards by rummaging down the back of a hypothetical sofa and searching under a hypothetical bed. Especially noteworthy are the cards for Lacroix’s and Peter De la Fontaine which are the early work of William Hogarth.

Thank you these are so beautiful to look at from a time when craftsmen and women celebrated their skills. One can but marvel in changed times.
