Remarkable old London notice and exotic bird sale items
A dated letter from Reghe17 18 signed J. Kea 5c. warns the East India House of meetings about company affairs. The text advertises a vast arrival of birds and animals from the West Indies and East Indies, including scarlet macaws, canaries, parrots, monkeys, doves, and ducks to be sold at Tower Dock. Also noted are stage coach schedules, public notices, and medical cures, all in a bustling late 17th to 18th century London register style.
