Description

ADS, signed “A. Humboldt,” one page, 5.75 x 2.5, no date. Payment receipt penned in the hand of an unknown bookseller, who lists three items, "Byron's work Vol. 1-10," "Jacobs on precious metals," and "London's…Britannicus," which amount to a total of £4.15. Humboldt adds a few lines of unintelligible handwriting before signing his name below, with another hand adding his surname to the left border. In very good to fine condition, with a block of toning, a few staple holes, a short edge tear, and light show-through at the corners from mounting remnants on the reverse.
