This 18th-century trade card showcases the bustling world of commerce in London. The engraving depicts a Linen Draper shop, owned by Gedge's, located in Leicester Square. The intricate details of this print offer a glimpse into the vibrant activities and occupations that thrived during this era. The shop front is adorned with iron columns, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. It stands as a testament to the thriving business enterprises that populated the city at the time. A variety of materials and garments are displayed within, enticing potential customers with their exquisite quality.
