Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Trade card for Philip Fruchard, coal merchant, London. On the north bank of the Thames near All Hallows Lane a coal barge unloads its cargo in sacks for a waiting cart. In the background is its source, a collier, probably from Newcastle, discharging into a lighter. (The church in left background is St Saviour's, today Southwark Cathedral.)
Philip Fruchard was a Huguenot; he gave evidence to the House of Commons on 25 March 1730 about abuses in the coal trade. A few lighter owners had engrossed the business. |
