Copied by express permission, and the only correct drawing of the Great Charter ever taken. This important memorial of the liberties and rights of Englishmen is admirably adapted for framing, and would hang with propriety from the walls of every house in the country. As a guarantee to the purchaser that the facsimile is exact, the publisher need only state that Sir Frederick Madden has permitted copies to hang for public inspection upon the walls of the Manuscript Department in the British Museum. It was executed by Mr. Harrison, under whose auspices the splendid work on the Knights of the Garter was produced some years ago. Handsomely framed and glazed, in carved oak, of an antique pattern, 22s. 6d. It is uniform with the “Roll of Battle Abbey.”
A Full Translation, with Notes, has just been prepared, price 6d. It has been very beautifully printed on a large sheet of tinted paper by Messrs. Whittingham and Wilkins. It may be framed and hung beside the original, or can be pasted at the back, according to the taste of the purchaser.
