A trade card advertising the services provided to customers and the trade by the printseller and picture restorer Robert Hulton (fl 1700-1740), whose shop was situated on the corner of Pall Mall facing the Haymarket.

The work is an example of a so called medley print were multiple images appear to be randomly scattered across the surface of the paper as though they were being viewed upon a table. This form of trompe-l’oeil print was popular in England during the eighteenth century, as an eye-catching means of advertising your services and wares. Hulton is known to have used it more than once (an example with a portrait of the artist Abraham Bloemaert, at it’s centre, is housed in the Library of Congress).
