Perfumers Sangwine present their trade card with an exquisite engraving. This delicate artwork reflects how fragrances have been skillfully crafted and transported throughout history to captivate our senses. In 1941, amidst global turmoil, "Buy A Share In America" entices investors with its vibrant color litho poster. It symbolizes not only financial investment but also international trade connections being forged through goods transportation. A glimpse into French fashion emerges with a doyen's costume from the 15th century. This attire reminds us that even clothing was traded between nations as part of commercial intercourse during those times. A humorous color litho print asks whether one's journey is for business or pleasure - highlighting how transportation has served both purposes throughout history. Delving deeper into human emotions depicted through art, a color litho titled "Infidelity" explores themes of trust and betrayal within relationships – reminding us that transporting emotions can be just as complex as physical goods. John Julius Angerstein's engraved portrait reveals his role as Chairman of Lloyds of London – an institution deeply intertwined with maritime commerce and insurance services vital to safe goods transport worldwide.
