1. Title: "A 18th Century London Trade Card: Daniel Richards, Stationer, at St. Andrew's Church, Holborn This evocative trade card, dating back to the 18th century, showcases the business of Daniel Richards, a stationer, located at St. Andrew's Church in the bustling area of Holborn, London. The image captures the essence of the time, with its intricate design and meticulous attention to detail. The card begins with a striking illustration of St. Andrew's Church, its tall spire reaching towards the heavens, symbolizing the religious and community foundation of Daniel Richards' business. Surrounding the church, a lively scene unfolds, with men and women engaged in various activities related to the stationery trade. A man carefully examines a book, while another man writes on a slate with a quill pen. A woman sorts through stacks of parchment, and a child holds a stack of blank paper. At the bottom of the card, the text reads, "Daniel Richards, Stationer, Wholesale and Retail." Daniel Richards' name is prominently displayed, signifying the pride and importance he placed on his business. The use of the terms "wholesale and retail" indicates that Daniel Richards catered to both individual customers and larger businesses, making him a key player in London's thriving trade scene. This trade card offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and commerce of 18th century London. The intricate design, coupled with the historical context, makes it a captivating piece of art and a valuable addition to any collection.
