Includes: 1) 3 boxes of trade cards relating to metalwork and various trades. Includes some billheads. 2) Colour photocopies of trade and maker plates/stamps 3) Notes and reference material relating to trade cards 4) 1 boxed book containing trade labels for carvers and gilders and picture frame manufacturers Wikidata entities have been created for the tradespeople with trade cards in this sub-collection. The entities are for the traders, not the cards so there is one entity for each trader even if they have more than one card in the collection. Records have not been created for traders with billheads etc. The group Wikidata entity 'Tradespeople with cards in the John Evan Bedford Library of Furniture History' contains links to the records for the individual traders.
