John Dunn (late Okey). Cooper and Cork Cutter. Reading

John Dunn’s two trades are shown side by side, a typical example of the miniaturist art required of engravers of trade cards. Information relating to the succession of businesses is of great importance to local historians. The card was engraved by Osborne of London.
