| Trade card collection, box 7 no. 436. Held at Birmingham Archive. |
An undated trade card for a Harrison, probably from about the 1820s. Harrison was a sign painter at 219 Bristol Street, but also mentioned a 'Painting Room' on Essex Street. Nothing can be found on either Harrison or the painting room, but the card still gives some insight into the trade of a sign painter at this time, as it included a message to 'Surgeon's and Druggist's' that their 'Bottles, Drawers &c' could be labelled and their 'Window Plates neatly Written'. A set of druggist's drawers from Hall Green with hand painted labels is held at Birmingham Museum and can be seen in a post here.
