EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a trade card from 1800, promoting the services of Brass Founders in Birmingham. The anonymous creator has beautifully engraved this artifact, capturing the essence of advertising during the 18th and 19th centuries. The intricate design features detailed illustrations that depict the industrial nature of brass founding. The card exudes a sense of heritage art, reflecting the rich history and culture associated with British craftsmanship. With elegant lettering and graphics, it effectively communicates the profession and occupation of these skilled tradesmen. Displayed as part of an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this antique piece offers a glimpse into the past when business cards were not just functional but also works of art. It serves as a reminder that even in earlier times, graphic design played an essential role in attracting customers to various trades. As we admire this historic trade card, we are transported back to a time when industries thrived on craftsmanship and attention to detail. It symbolizes not only an era but also represents how businesses promoted themselves through printed materials long before digital marketing became prevalent. While its original purpose may have been forgotten over time, this print preserves both the beauty and historical significance behind such ephemeral artifacts.
