Trades, Markets and Rural Life

Trades, markets and rural life

This section captures working life away from the court and the city centre: farmers, market towns and provincial ports, from Hogarth's Farmers Return to steel-engraved views of Bordeaux and Constantinople by Rouargue. Pieces date from 1707 to 1929 and include a Goya Capricho alongside engravers such as John Godfrey and Charles Cousen.

The category suits collectors of social history and regional trades, and anyone furnishing a kitchen or country house with period scenes. All prints are original of their time, each with a technical description and measurements.
