1. Title: "Mary & Ann Hogarth, Clothes Shop, Little Britain: A Snapshot of 18th Century London Tradeswomen" This evocative 18th century trade card depicts the clothing shop of Mary and Ann Hogarth, located in the heart of London's Little Britain. The image, filled with intricate details, offers a glimpse into the daily life of two enterprising women who ran a successful clothes shop during an era when tradeswomen were making their mark in various industries. The card, featuring the distinctive lion and unicorn emblem of the British Coat of Arms, is adorned with an elegant border of roses, thistles, and other symbolic flowers. The shop's name, "Mary & Ann Hogarth," is prominently displayed at the top, while the lower half of the card showcases a selection of fashionable frocks and dresses, suggesting the shop's specialties. Mary and Ann Hogarth, both dressed in the latest fashion, stand in the doorway of their shop, welcoming customers with open arms. Their warm smiles and inviting demeanor exude confidence and professionalism, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit that defined London's tradeswomen during this period. The card's reverse side reveals a more practical side, with essential information such as the shop's location, "Little Britain," and contact details, including an address and phone number (albeit in the form of a cryptic series of numbers and letters). This trade card not only serves as a testament to the Hogarth sisters' thriving business but also provides a valuable window into the world of 18th century London tradeswomen, their shops, and the fashion trends of the time.
