EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed trade card from the 19th century showcases the business of S Ware, a draper and tailor. The coloured engraving depicts a bustling street scene with customers browsing through various textiles and garments displayed in shop windows. The card bears the coat of arms of Waterloo House, adding an air of prestige to this establishment. The image captures the essence of social life during this era, with men sporting top hats and women donning fashionable bonnets as they engage in shopping for clothing. The buildings lining the street reflect the architectural style of that time, transporting us back to a bygone era. The craftsmanship evident in this print is remarkable, showcasing intricate details such as fabric patterns and textures. Engraved by Price on John Street, it exemplifies the skillful artistry involved in creating such trade cards. This historical artifact not only provides insight into fashion trends but also offers a glimpse into European culture at that time. With references to Germany throughout its description, it hints at possible connections between English tailoring traditions and German influences. Overall, this image serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document that sheds light on the world of drapery and tailoring during the 19th century.
