Trade Card. Good. Single sided trade card, approximately 95mm x 60mm in size, no publisher (presumably produced ‘in house’), n.p. but almost certainly Glasgow, n.d. c.1853.

Gilmour [J.B.] and Dean [Alexander Davidson] are described as stationers and general printers, with account books, binding, paper ruling, embossing etc to foot. The address on the card isn’t matched exactly in the SBTI, which has them at 86 Buchanan Street and 13 Exchange Place between 1846-52 and 86 Buchanan Street and 13 & 15 Exchange Place in 1853. We have given 1853 as it is the first time that 15 Exchange Place is seen as an address
