1801 Anthony Apprentice Bound Document Gaming Gray Junior L Aw Legal Stationer Taverns Years Discouraged Indenture Mid Winter


EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic document, dated 1801, represents the indenture between John Anthony Gray, a London stationer, and Charles Midwinter junior, who was bound as an apprentice to Gray for a period of seven years. The legal agreement, held by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, marks a significant moment in the life of young Charles Midwinter, who was committed to learning the trade of stationery under the guidance of his master. The indenture outlines the terms and conditions of the apprenticeship, including the prohibition of certain activities that were deemed detrimental to the apprentice's development. Specifically, the document discourages Charles from engaging in gaming and frequenting taverns during his apprenticeship. These activities were believed to be a waste of time and resources, and could potentially lead to negative influences and distractions from the learning process. The importance of apprenticeships in historical England cannot be overstated. They provided a means for young people to learn a trade or skill from a master, and were a crucial step towards gaining independence and establishing a career. The indenture between John Anthony Gray and Charles Midwinter junior is a testament to this tradition, and offers a glimpse into the legal and social framework that governed the relationship between master and apprentice during this period. The document's meticulous details, including the signatures of both parties and the seal of the Master of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, underscore the seriousness and importance of the agreement. This historic artifact offers a valuable insight into the legal, social, and economic realities of apprenticeship in 19th century London, and is a fascinating reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped our modern world.
