EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases page 279 from Rathbone's notebook, dating back to the year 1742. The intricate ink on paper artwork was created by William Rathbone II (1696-1746), the visionary founder of Rathbone Brothers, one of Britain's most prominent wealth management firms. Initially establishing a timber business that would eventually evolve into Rathbone Brothers, this historical figure left an indelible mark on the financial landscape. The image offers a glimpse into the past as it reveals handwritten accounts, figures, and annotations related to a timber yard. With meticulous attention to detail, Rathbone has captured his thoughts and observations in this diary entry turned work of art. The combination of writing and drawing adds depth and complexity to this piece. Preserved within the University of Liverpool Art Gallery & Collections in the UK, this artifact holds immense historical significance. It serves as a testament to both William Rathbone II's entrepreneurial spirit and his dedication to documenting important aspects of his business ventures. Displayed at eVictoria Gallery & Museum at the University of Liverpool, this photograph not only highlights an extraordinary piece but also represents an era long gone by. As we delve into its contents—accounts meticulously recorded with quill pen strokes—we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how commerce was conducted centuries ago.
