EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card print showcases Richard Anning, a prominent tea dealer and grocer of the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of Anning's trade and his significant role in the thriving industry. The image depicts a bustling scene with a ship in the background symbolizing international trade. Surrounding Anning are various elements that represent his business - trees allude to exotic origins of imported goods, while china and palm trees hint at his diverse range of products. As he confidently holds a cigar, it reflects both his status as a successful businessman and the prevalent smoking culture during that era. Anning's position as an importer is emphasized through references to colonialism and empire-building. The presence of coffee beans further highlights his role as a supplier beyond just tea. This trade card not only promotes Anning's business but also serves as a visual representation of global connections facilitated by merchants like him. Beyond its commercial significance, this print offers insights into Victorian social customs and historical context surrounding tobacco consumption. It provides glimpses into European fascination with Asian cultures through botanical references from Asia and Germany. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece invites us to delve into the rich history behind Richard Anning's contributions to the tea trade while offering valuable glimpses into broader societal trends during that time period.
