笔记

Arnold’s trade card includes a very detailed vignette of a printer’s workshop, showing all stages of the process, from engraving the copperplate to printing, drying and binding. Francis Arnold (c1772-1829) is recorded in business directories at this Bath Street address from 1818. At least two of his children, and one daughter-in-law, succeeded him at the premises, and others in Bath Street, as gun-barrel makers and riflers.
