EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning trade card, dated 23 April 1720, showcases the artistic prowess of William Hogarth, a renowned British artist and engraver of the 18th century. The image features a rectangular, frame-encased design, adorned with classical corbels and decorated with garlands of flowers and cherubs. The central focus of the card is a group of men, dressed as tradesmen, gathered around a table. The figure in the foreground, wearing a cap and holding a ruler, is identified as Hogarth himself, showcasing his skills as an engraver. Surrounding Hogarth are other figures, including a woman holding a fan and a man with a quill pen, alluding to his abilities as a painter and draftsman. The cherubs and putti in the corners add an element of whimsy and playfulness, while the classical motifs and figures evoke a sense of elegance and sophistication. The use of wings on the cherubs and the classical figures' poses and attire further emphasize the connection between art and the divine. This trade card not only served as an advertisement for Hogarth's services but also functioned as a visual representation of his artistic abilities and the range of his talents. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and dynamic composition make this trade card a captivating work of art in its own right.
