Wm. Mitchell. Hosier. At the Star and Fleece (c. 1770)

William Mitchell’s letterpress trade card is also used as a bill, dating it to no later than 1770. The street number is present, although verbal reference is still made to the trade sign. The 1757 engraved card in the Heal Collection shows Mitchell’s sign as the Star only.
