Two variations of Wallis's ornate trade card.

Both items very good, each printed on one side only of a piece of thin shiny card, dimensions 11 x 15 cm. The arrangement of the text is the same in both cases, but one is printed in blue and green, and the other in blue and gold. An attractive piece of Victorian typography, laid out in a variety of decorative fonts and point sizes, with a strong hint of Gothic revival about it. Reads 'HANNAH WALLIS, | Plain & Ornamental Printer, | IN LETTER-PRESS, LITHOGRAPHY, & COPPERPLATE, | ACCOUNT-BOOK MAKER, | Stationer and Bookseller. | ARTISTS' MATERIALS OF THE BEST QUALITY. | 5, BARTHOLOMEWS, | ADJOINING EAST STREET, AND OPPOSITE THE TOWN HALL, | Brighton.' Wallis appears in Brighton trade directories around 1859. She would appear to have moved to New Birkdale, Lancashire, in 1861, where she opened a Quaker School.
