Early 19th Century - French Notarial Act - Handwritten Legal Document 1839

This Early 19th Century French notarial act, dated 1839, is an authentic handwritten historical document from France. Written in elegant brown ink, the legal text details a formal agreement or declaration overseen by a notary. A prominent feature is the 'TIMBRE IMPERIAL' (Imperial Stamp) seal, indicating a legal tax of '1 F 25 C.' (1 Franc 25 Centimes) paid for the transaction. The document is clearly dated '2 Septembre 1839.' (September 2, 1839).

The text records the appearance of individuals, identified by their professions like 'couteliers' (cutlers), before a notary. This offers a glimpse into the social and economic fabric of 19th-century France. The careful calligraphy and official seals provide a tangible connection to the past, making this a compelling piece for anyone interested in legal history, French culture, or antique manuscripts and ephemera.
