This print showcases a significant historical artifact - an indenture for the sale of land, signed by none other than Guy Fawkes himself. Dating back to the early 17th century, this document holds immense historical value and offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most infamous figures in British history.

This facsimile captures his signature on this important legal agreement, reminding us of his role beyond just that fateful night. The intricate details within this photograph allow us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such documents during that era and Fawkes' distinctive handwriting. The presence of a seal adds an air of authenticity to this piece, further emphasizing its significance.

It serves as a tangible link between past and present; connecting us to an event that shaped not only British history but also our understanding of civil liberties.
