Original 1833 handwritten mercantile invoice/account measuring approximately 8 x 9.5 inches, dated Liverpool, 19 August 1833. The document is addressed “To Newton, Lyon & Co.” and identifies them as agents to the Marquis of Anglesea, with additional wording referring to manufacturers and merchants.

The account concerns four cases of copper imported/shipped in connection with William Brown and Philadelphia. Several monetary calculations and charges are recorded, with a total appearing at the lower right. A handwritten notation states that interest is to be charged until the bill falls due.

Especially interesting is the reverse, which retains its original folded-letter format and is addressed to:

Messrs. Nathan Trotter & Co.
Philadelphia

with “Wm Brown” written beneath. The reverse also retains a red postal marking/stamp and manuscript postal/accounting notations. This combination gives the piece appeal not only as an early commercial document but also as transatlantic postal and maritime trade history.

The document provides an excellent primary-source glimpse into the Liverpool–Philadelphia commercial network of the 1830s, involving copper, merchants, agents, shipping, credit, and international correspondence during the pre-stamp postal era.
