About This Item
France. Fair with no dust jacket. 1773. Ephemera. On offer are three small documents detailing financial transactions dating from 1773 in pre-Revolutionary France. The receipts are acknowledgements loans to one M. M. De Ligny. Our informal research has not been able to find any additional biographical information. Each loan is for 1,765 livres or about US$250.00 in 2020. An interesting feature is that his wife is referred to each of the receipts and on one, her signature is affixed. For a historian, these are fine examples of the types of personal financial transactions that people frequently engaged in. For someone interested in gender studies or the role of women in various societies, this is an interesting comment on the role of women in some aspects of per-Revolutionary French society. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 3 pages .
