EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "John Edwards, Coal Merchant: A Snapshot of 18th Century London Tradesmen at Work" This evocative 18th-century trade card depicts John Edwards, a coal merchant, standing confidently before his horse-drawn cart filled with sacks of coal at The Old Collier and Cart, located near Holborn Bridge in London. The scene offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life and work of a coal merchant during this era. The coal merchant, John Edwards, is shown dressed in the attire typical of his profession. He wears a waistcoat, a long coat, and a tricorn hat, which was a common headgear among tradesmen during this period. Edwards' posture exudes a sense of pride and professionalism, as he oversees the loading of coal into his cart. The horse, harnessed and ready to be hitched to the cart, stands patiently nearby. The coal sacks, likely made of jute or hemp, are carefully balanced on the cart, which is held aloft by two strong-looking horses. The coal, an essential fuel for heating homes and businesses, was transported from the mines to the city using this method of transportation. The Old Collier and Cart, located near Fleet Ditch and Holborn Bridge, served as a crucial hub for coal merchants and their deliveries. The bustling area was a testament to the industrious spirit of London's tradesmen, who played a vital role in the city's economic and social fabric. This trade card, which may have been used as a promotional tool or simply as a business card, provides a fascinating window into the past. It offers a unique perspective on the daily life and work of a coal merchant in 18th-century London and the critical role that tradesmen like John Edwards played in the city's history.
