This print showcases a trade card from the 18th century, depicting the bustling world of stationers and their trade. The intricate engraving, attributed to an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the vibrant retail scene of that era. The trade card itself is described as an old shop-bill belonging to O Lloyd &s Gibbons and was reproduced in The Gentlemans Magazine in December 1784. Another copy can be found in the Society of Antiquities' Harley Collection. This remarkable piece of advertising art highlights various activities associated with stationery businesses, such as copying documents and engrossing deeds. The image also captures elements of London's architectural beauty, with a stone church monument serving as a backdrop for this bustling commercial district.
