EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a trade card from the 18th century, showcasing the skilled Breeches Makers of William Rogers. The engraving, part of a private collection, dates back to 1775 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of advertising and retailing during this era. The trade card itself is an advertisement for William Rogers' business, featuring vibrant colors that catch the eye and entice potential customers. Located in Hanway Street in London's bustling Bloomsbury district, his shop catered to those seeking high-quality trousers made from buckskin or doeskin. The image depicts various activities associated with tailoring and clothing trades. From mending garments to cleaning them meticulously, these skilled merchants were dedicated to providing top-notch service to their clientele. It is interesting to note that no business was transacted on Sundays according to the card. During this time period, trade cards played a crucial role in promoting businesses and establishing their reputation within communities. They served as visual representations of commerce and showcased the goods available at specific establishments. This particular trade card not only provides insight into the occupation of breeches making but also reflects broader themes such as free trade and business enterprises prevalent during the 18th century. With its historical significance and artistic charm, this print serves as a window into an earlier era where craftsmanship thrived amidst London's bustling streets.
