EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trade card from the 19th century, featuring the diverse services offered by Croydon - a printer, bookseller, and umbrella maker. The intricate design of the card reflects the artistic sensibilities of that era, with its elegant lettering and detailed engraving. The image transports us back to Victorian Britain, where this bustling profession thrived. It offers a glimpse into the world of literature and commerce during that time period. The circulating library mentioned on the card hints at a society hungry for knowledge and entertainment. A notable aspect of this trade card is its portrayal of women in professions traditionally dominated by men. A female figure is depicted on the card, symbolizing how women were breaking barriers and making their mark in various occupations. Preserved as part of Teignmouth Devon England's heritage art collection, this photograph now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met). Its inclusion in such an esteemed institution highlights its historical significance and artistic value. T. Rickard's masterful capture brings out every detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this trade card but also gain insights into 19th-century British culture.
