This is a genuine vellum document, a formal probate of the will of Frederick Waller, dating to around 1900. This piece offers a direct look into the legal practices and personal affairs of the period. It's a significant historical artifact, showing how estates were settled and legal documents were prepared over a century ago. The vellum itself speaks to the quality and permanence intended for such important records. It would be a great addition for anyone interested in legal history or late Victorian-era documents.
