Kwitantie voor Johan Conrad Greive Possibly 1863 - 1867

This handwritten receipt from 1865 is a document that would have been commonplace during the 19th century. It is a simple document, recording the payment of "Twenty Guilders" for "one subscription" to Frans Buffa en Zonen. Though not a work of art in the traditional sense, it is a valuable record of a past business transaction and provides insight into the day-to-day life of the time. The receipt, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a reminder of the important role such documents played in everyday life.
