A 1792 deed of sale and receipt, comprising eight handwritten pages on parchment in brown ink. The large opening formula “Au nom de la Nation,” the calligraphic headings, and the black seals give this collection a striking graphic presence. The handwriting alternates between thick and thin strokes, accompanied by marginal notes and paraphs. The texture of the parchment, its ivory hues, and its slight undulations emphasize the character of this document from the revolutionary period, worthy of collecting or displaying open in a cabinet of curiosities.
