1856 Vicksburg, Mississippi Tax Receipt Slaves

The document states that there was Received of J. The back was blank, though it now bears the name of the individuals who were paying, and a large manuscript D in a square. Printed in black ink on white paper, with manuscript additions in period ink. Documents of this type are always popular, since they indicate to us what those in a bygone era considered valuable. A nice addition to any slave related collection.

The presently offered specimen exhibits light to moderate toning across the entire surface, imparting an off-white to light beige hue to the paper. The toning is slightly darker at the edges and along the one vertical fold.

This fold has caused the paper to weaken near the top, though no tears are present at this time. The contrast is average, with all printed and manuscript material legible. Ink bleed through from the manuscript D can be seen at the upper center, and Randolphs signature can be seen when the note is viewed from the back. Measuring approximately 4.85 x 7.60 inches, this piece would look nice if framed with a period illustration of workers in a cotton field.
