EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the 19th century showcases the exquisite engraving skills of Edward Watts, a renowned tailor and woollen draper based in London Road, Leicester. The print, now part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the world of fashion and clothing during that era. The image depicts two elegantly dressed men standing proudly side by side. Their impeccable outfits reflect the latest trends and styles of the time. This trade card served as an advertisement for Edward Watts' business, enticing potential customers with his expertise in outfitting gentlemen. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every fold and crease in their garments has been meticulously captured. It transports us back to a time when tailoring was considered an art form, where craftsmanship and quality were highly valued. As we admire this historical artifact, we can't help but imagine the bustling streets of London Road filled with fashionable individuals seeking out Mr. Watts' services. This trade card not only serves as a testament to his skill but also provides valuable insight into the sartorial preferences of society at that time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this piece today without commercial use restrictions. It reminds us how art can transcend time and connect us with our past while celebrating the talent and creativity of artists like Edward Watts.
