Document Possibly 1833 - 1838

This small-scale artwork, titled "Document," is a historical receipt from the Grand Ducal Hessian Post office dating back to between 1833 and 1838. The document details the cost of transport for two horses, the total amount being 8 fl. 32 fr., in German currency. This type of "Document" is a testament to the everyday lives of people in the 19th century and provides an insight into the logistics of postal services in pre-modern Europe. This is a simple but informative work housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
