EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century trade card, titled "Printseller, J Seago" captures the bustling atmosphere of London's Tottenham Court Road. The engraving showcases a vibrant scene filled with various activities and businesses that were prevalent during this era. In the foreground, we see an old man known as "Old Simon" who is identified as a printseller. He sits comfortably on a stool outside his shop, surrounded by maps and prints displayed for sale. His presence adds character to the street and reflects the diverse occupations found in this bustling part of town. The image also depicts other tradespeople going about their daily routines - from beggars seeking alms to merchants transporting goods through the busy streets. This snapshot of life in 18th-century London provides us with a glimpse into the thriving commerce and vibrant energy that defined this period. The trade card itself serves as both an advertisement and promotional tool for J Seago's print-selling business. It highlights how trade cards were used to attract customers and showcase products or services offered by different enterprises. As we admire this historical print, we are transported back in time to witness the dynamic nature of early business enterprises while appreciating the artistry behind these intricate engravings.
