Printed Ephemera — 1749-1750
Billhead, invoice
Copper-engraved billhead with handwritten invoice issued by John Mumford, located at the sign of the Harlequin and Pierot, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden. The billhead includes the tradesman's sign of a harlequin and pierrot within a circular medallion. Dated December 1749 to May 1750 the invoice refers to the supply of a bone hoop, blue mantua and pink coat to Mrs Harriet Hucks. Both the engraved and handwritten script are in English round hand. By 1751 this business had been taken over by Hannah Mumford, possibly the widow of John.
