Queen Anne – apprenticeship indenture partially printed document with ms insertions on a single leaf of paper dated May 1715 being an apprenticeship indenture for John Snowden to John Ripley Alderman and Grocer of Ripon North Yorks bearing a somewhat crude portrait of Queen Anne.

This is particularly intriguing in that it bears the portrait of Queen Anne and yet was drawn up in the first year of the Reign of George I.
George II indenture on a single leaf of vellum dated 1748 being a property transaction for property in Drayton Cambridgeshire featuring a miniature portrait of the King enclosed in an elaborate initial ‘G’.
