'Stolen - 3 Hens & 2 Young Roosters - £10 Reward !!' - An Original 19th Century Wanted Poster

19th century
Sold by Culvertons
Description

This is one of a group of rare & original Mid-19th Century 'wanted' posters collected by a local elderly gentleman - during his life-time he accumulated a vast collection of social history linked to Dorking in Surrey & Horsham in West Sussex.

Ten Pounds Reward in 1863 would be approximately £1200 in today's ££ - a considerable sum.

When considering the original function and age of the poster it is in remarkably good condition. We have had the poster professionally framed and mounted - an off-white mount with a solid light oak frame and backed with acid-free board. There is a wire for hanging the poster already fixed to the reverse.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
