EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card, hailing from the heart of 18th century London, showcases the artistic prowess of Thomas Paul Sandby (1753-1832), a skilled artist and the son of renowned artist Thomas Sandby. The card, produced in 1791, advertises Sandby's private drawing lessons, offered at St. Georges Row on Oxford Street. The elegant design, reminiscent of the classical Corinthian style, features an oval stand with a pedestal displaying a painting of a Corinthian maiden in deep contemplation. With a quill in one hand and a charcoal stick in the other, she tenderly sketches the silhouette of her departing lover, a poignant scene that speaks volumes about the transient nature of love. The price for these valuable lessons was listed as one or two guineas, reflecting the prestige and exclusivity of Sandby's art education. This trade card stands as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of London during the 1790s and the dedication of Thomas Paul Sandby to passing on his artistic skills to the next generation.
