EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card from the 18th century, preserved in a print dating back to 1948, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of London's Lombard Street. Created by an unknown artist, it advertises John Wildblood's dyers shop at the Rainbow & 3 pidgons (sic) in St Clements Lane. The eye-catching design features a vibrant rainbow arching over three pigeons, symbolizing both nature and urban life. The advertisement reflects the thriving textile industry of its time, showcasing the importance of dyeing and fabric production. With its intricate graphic design and elegant lettering, this trade card stands as a testament to the artistic skills prevalent during the eighteenth century. Located in one of London's busiest avenues, this dyers shop catered to customers seeking colorful fabrics for their garments or home decor. The mention of John Wildblood marrying Widow Harrinton adds an intriguing personal touch to this historical artifact. Leonard Russell included this remarkable image in his book "Saturday Book" further highlighting its significance as a piece of visual literature. Preserved by The Print Collector and now held by Heritage Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into advertising practices during that era. As we gaze upon this unique snapshot from history, we are transported back in time - imagining ourselves strolling down Lombard Street amidst bustling shops and admiring beautifully dyed textiles displayed at John Wildblood's establishment.
