A relic of a time gone by - my Granny’s handwritten receipt with the usual “messages” on it, from McGonagle’s shop on Buncrana Main Street.
I found the original sandwiched between book pages. Why this was kept, I don’t know, but I’m glad it survived, albeit very wrinkly, as it's evidence of a simpler time.
The receipt was written in a mix of pencil and blue biro. I think the groceries were “paid in” for in advance, as it says “less overpaid” at the bottom. It’s the usual bits and pieces - tea, sugar, butter, cheese, a tin of fruit cocktail, and soap, amongst other things.
I printed this in PageMasters Riso Print Shop in London as part of their drop-in sessions. It’s a three-colour risograph print, on Cairn Recycled 100gsm paper, using Sunflower Yellow, Medium Blue and Black ink.
This is a Limited Edition of 40. Each print is signed and numbered by myself.
