This 18th century London trade card features the image of William Conaway, a dedicated lamp seller, who set up his business near the Bull Head in Dean Street, just by St. Anns Church. The bustling scene depicted on this card showcases Conaway's dedication to his craft, as he sells a variety of lamps, lanterns, and irons to passersby. The background of the card reveals a quintessential 18th century London street scene. A tall, red-brick building with intricate railings and a ladder leaning against its side, hints at the construction work that was common during this era. The Bull Head pub, a popular watering hole, can be seen in the distance, adding to the lively atmosphere. Conaway's trade was not limited to just selling these essential items, but he also provided the service of employing servants to light the lamps and lanterns for his customers. This added convenience was a testament to his commitment to making life easier for the people of London. The trade card, with its intricate design and detailed illustration, serves as a snapshot of life in 18th century London. It provides a glimpse into the daily routines of the tradesmen who kept the city functioning, and the essential items they sold to make life more comfortable for the residents. William Conaway, the lamp seller, stands proudly at the forefront of this scene, showcasing his wares and his dedication to his customers.
