笔记

Opulent trade card in the highest rococo style, the asymmetrical cartouche dripping with all examples of a wide range of Chalmers and Robins’s wares: dividers, rulers, telescopes, cups, ink wells, jugs, jewels, coffee pots, spectacles, cutlery, cruets, fobs, buckles, rings, platter and pendants.

There are three trade cards in Heal collection for Chalmers & Robinson, giving their addresses as at the Ring & Cup in Walkers Court, Berwick Street, Soho, from 1760; the Sidney Alley address, as here, from 1773, as it is a corner location, is the same building as No.1 Princes Street, which was used until 1783 by the company, and until 1793, by Chalmers alone.
