EDITORS COMMENTS
This London trade card, dating back to the 1760s, features the image of Nathan Drake, the successor to Robert Keating, proudly announcing his role as a Colourman at the White Hart shop located in Long Acre, London. The elegant design of the card reflects the Baroque style of the era, with intricate ornamentation and the use of rich colors. At the heart of the image, Nathan Drake is depicted in formal attire, holding a palette and brush in one hand, and a set of antlers in the other. The antlers symbolize the supply of high-quality deer antler varnish, a popular and essential material for artists and house painters during this period. The White Hart shop was a significant supplier of artistic and house painting supplies, catering to the needs of both professional artists and amateur painters. The card's reverse side includes a detailed list of the various supplies and materials available at the shop, such as oil and distemper paints, brushes, and canvases. The 18th century was a time of burgeoning artistic and industrial growth in London, and trade cards like this one played a crucial role in promoting the services and goods of various tradespeople. The use of vivid colors and intricate designs on these cards not only showcased the artistry of the era but also effectively marketed the products and services offered by the tradesmen themselves.
