1647 Broadside Conformist Manufacture Preachers Preaching Satirical Scissors Tailor Tailoring Tradesman

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of 17th century London with this print of a tailor from 1647. In this detailed illustration, we see a tradesman hard at work, surrounded by bolts of fabric and his trusty pair of scissors. But there's more to this image than just a simple depiction of a tailor at work - it's actually a satirical broadside poking fun at non-conformist preaching in the city. During this period, tailors were not just skilled craftsmen but also served as preachers in their communities. This unique blend of trade and religion is captured perfectly in this historical print, giving us a glimpse into the daily life and beliefs of Londoners from centuries past. The intricate details of the tailor's costume and tools transport us back to a time when clothing was painstakingly handmade and every stitch told a story. The sharp satire on display reminds us that even in the 17th century, people weren't afraid to poke fun at societal norms and conventions. So take a closer look at this fascinating piece from Mary Evans Picture Library and let yourself be transported to an era where tailors were not just makers of clothes, but also purveyors of wisdom and wit.
