EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the 19th century features an engraving of J Burley, a renowned Fancy Brush Manufacturer. The intricate design includes fascinating symbols associated with freemasonry, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the artwork. The image showcases various elements that highlight the social and manufacturing aspects of this trade. From barrels and knights to coats of arms and compasses, each detail represents a different facet of brush production. The inclusion of these symbols suggests a connection between craftsmanship and secret societies. The Victorian-era aesthetics are evident in the depiction of a pig's eye shield, scissors, and other tools commonly used in brush manufacturing during that time period. This print offers us a glimpse into history by showcasing not only the products but also the cultural influences prevalent at that time. Although originating from Germany, this particular trade card found its way into private collections around Europe. Its presence in North Germany speaks to its popularity within German culture as well as its wider appeal throughout Europe. Overall, this print captures both the artistry involved in producing fancy brushes and hints at deeper connections between craftsmen through freemasonry symbolism. It serves as a testament to historical traditions while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic beauty and cultural significance.
