1. Title: "John Wildblood, Silk Dyer: A 18th Century London Tradesman at the Rainbow and Three Pigeons, St. Clements Lane, Lombard Street" 2.. This 18th century trade card features the portrait of John Wildblood, a skilled silk dyer, proudly showcasing his craft and trade at the Rainbow and Three Pigeons, located on St. Clements Lane in Lombard Street, London. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a tradesman during this era, revealing the intricacies of the silk dyeing process. John Wildblood is depicted wearing a fashionable waistcoat and cravat, holding a bundle of silk fabric in one hand and a dyeing vat in the other. The Rainbow and Three Pigeons, his place of business, is depicted in the background with a sign bearing its name and an image of a rainbow and three pigeons. The pigeons, symbolizing peace and prosperity, are often associated with the textile trade. The textile industry was a significant contributor to London's economy during the 18th century, and silk dyeing was a crucial aspect of this thriving sector. The dyeing process involved immersing raw silk in a vat of dye to give it color and texture, a labor-intensive process that required a great deal of skill and expertise. The trade card also bears the inscription "Married the widow Harrington," suggesting that John Wildblood had recently entered into a new chapter of his life. The olive branch and dove, symbols of peace and renewal, further emphasize the theme of new beginnings. This trade card offers a fascinating insight into the world of 18th century London tradesmen, providing a glimpse into their daily lives, their crafts, and their personal stories. It is a testament to the rich history of textile production and the entrepreneurial spirit that thrived in London during this period.
