The engraving, created by Pettitt in Birmingham, beautifully captures the essence of this esteemed profession. In the image, we see a distinguished man meticulously measuring fabric with precision and expertise. His attention to detail is evident as he carefully crafts jackets that are both fashionable and well-fitted. This trade card serves as a testament to his craftsmanship and dedication to his craft. The historical significance of this piece cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into the world of tailoring during an era when clothing played a vital role in social status and self-expression. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into fashion trends prevalent during that period. Edward Watts' trade card represents more than just one individual; it symbolizes an entire industry steeped in tradition and innovation. Tailors like him were instrumental in shaping European fashion history, particularly in Germany where their skills were highly regarded. This print is not merely about cloth or garments; it encapsulates the pride and passion associated with tailoring while offering us a window into our sartorial past. Its presence reminds us of how clothing has always been intertwined with culture, identity, and societal norms throughout history.
