HANDWRITTEN RECEIPT / PURCHASE RECORD

ORIGINAL PERIOD SIGNATURES & WRITING

Offered is an extraordinary original handwritten receipt or purchase-related document dated 1796.

The document contains period cursive handwriting, names, financial information and details relating to the original transaction.

Additional handwriting appears on the reverse, providing further names and notations associated with the document.

1796 falls within America's New Nation era.

The document dates only twenty years after the Declaration of Independence and to the final year of George Washington's presidency.

While this document is being offered as an example of period financial and commercial ephemera rather than as a document connected directly to Washington or another famous historical figure, its date places it within a fascinating period of early American history.

One of the most appealing characteristics of this piece is the amount of surviving period handwriting.

The document includes:

• Original 18th-century cursive or purchase notations
• Additional handwritten information on the reverse

The writing itself provides an interesting example of everyday penmanship and recordkeeping during the late 1700s.

This is not a reproduction created to look historical.

It is an actual surviving document from 1796, now more than 225 years old.

The aged paper, original ink, handwriting and signs of use give the piece the character collectors seek in authentic historical ephemera.

An especially interesting addition to collections involving:

• 18th-century documents
• Early American-era ephemera
• New Nation-era history
• Antique receipts
• Early financial and commercial records
• Handwritten manuscripts
• Historical penmanship
• Genealogy and historical research
• Americana

The bold period handwriting would also make this an especially attractive candidate for a framed historical display.
