Dated 1768, this trade card served as an advertisement for his business. The image transports us back to a bustling era of commerce and trade in London's Fleet Street. The vibrant red lion emblem on the wall signifies both the location and quality of Hardham's establishment. Sniffing and taking snuff were popular activities during this time, making it a lucrative business for merchants like Hardham. The print offers a glimpse into the world of retailing in the 18th century, where trade cards played an essential role in promoting businesses. These cards were distributed to potential customers as a means of advertising goods and services.

As we observe him engaged in his craft, we can imagine the rich aroma that filled his shop. This historical artifact not only captures an important aspect of early commerce but also provides insight into the daily activities and occupations that shaped society at that time.
