// - Indenture - 1772

English legal document from the 19th century, written on parchment and headed with the traditional formula “This Indenture.” The manuscript is entirely handwritten in cursive, spread across a wide fold-out sheet.

The deed features various elements typical of British legal documentation of the era:

Original fiscal marks, including a large blue stamp printed at the top and a dry embossing with the royal monogram “G R” beneath a crown, indicative of the taxation applied to notarial deeds in the Georgian period.

An additional octagonal fiscal mark bearing the inscription “W:20,” hand-drawn in accordance with the regulations of the time.

Continuous text describing a property transaction or a formal agreement between parties, structured in the paragraphs typical of Indentures: preamble, names of the contracting parties, description of the assets, terms and conditions.
