This trade card, created by an anonymous artist between 1800 and 1900, advertises the services of J. Reynolds, an engraver, printer, bookseller, and stationer located in London. The card features an elaborate design with angels flanking a coat of arms, and a flowing script that highlights Reynolds's various services. The card serves as a prime example of the use of graphic design in advertising during the 19th century.
