About this work

This is a small, faded handwritten note on paper. The writing is messy, with some crossed-out words and numbers jotted in the corners. There’s a thin, uneven line drawn near the middle, like a quick sketch or a signature. The ink looks old, and the paper has a yellowed edge. The words mention "Patent Leather Shoes" and include sums of money, like ledger entries. Someone scribbled "Balance of upper sheet" and "Supp’d at Hargards," which might hint at a personal record or a shopping list. If you like old handwritten notes, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
