This 18th century London trade card features the image of William Conaway, a dedicated lamp seller, who set up his business near the Bull Head in Dean Street, just by St. Anns Church. The bustling scene depicted on this card showcases Conaway's dedication to his craft, as he sells a variety of lamps, lanterns, and irons to passersby. The background of the card reveals a quintessential 18th century London street scene. A tall, red-brick building with intricate railings and a ladder leaning against its side, hints at the construction work that was common during this era. The Bull Head pub, a popular watering hole, can be seen in the distance, adding to the lively atmosphere.
