EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card, dating back to the 1750s, showcases a perspective view of David Loudon's Bun House at Chelsea, a renowned bakery of the 18th century London. The image, depicting the exterior of the shop, invites us into the bustling world of 18th-century tradesmen and their thriving businesses. David Loudon's Bun House was a highly esteemed establishment, known for its delectable Chelsea buns and hot cross buns. The Chelsea Bun, a sweet, brioche-like pastry filled with currants and candied peel, was a popular delicacy among the affluent residents of Chelsea and beyond. The hot cross buns, a spiced, fruit-laden bun with a distinctive cross marking, were a traditional treat, particularly during the Lenten season. The trade card's intricate design highlights the architectural details of the Bun House, which was adorned with ornate columns, a grand sign, and a decorative facade. The Royal Appointment insignia proudly displayed above the entrance further underscores the esteemed reputation of this bakery. As we gaze upon this charming image, we are transported back in time to an era of thriving tradesmen, delicious baked goods, and the vibrant streets of 18th-century London.
