This lithograph, titled "Examples of tallies from the British Museum" takes us on a journey through history and knowledge. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases a collection of ancient tallies preserved at the prestigious British Museum. Tallies were once used as a means of record-keeping, dating back to early civilizations. Each tally served as a unique marker or token representing various transactions or accounts. In this image, we are presented with an array of these intriguing artifacts that offer glimpses into our ancestors' financial systems and daily lives. The composition is meticulously detailed, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship and intricacy of each tally. From simple notches carved into wood to more elaborate designs featuring symbols and patterns, these examples provide valuable insights into how societies managed their wealth centuries ago. Amongst the assortment of tallies depicted here, one can spot references to hop pickers and even those associated with the exchequer – highlighting their significance in different industries during specific eras. Originally featured in The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922, this lithograph serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human ingenuity throughout time. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us that history is not just confined within books but also resides within tangible objects like these fascinating tallies housed within the walls of the British Museum.
