British Navy Recruiting Parchment Replica of a British Navy poster printed in the American Colonies recruiting sailors to fight against the Colonists. "All gentlemen Volunteers, who have a Desire to serve on Board the STANLEY Armed Brig. belonging to His Majesty's Ship the ROEBUCK, now lying down at the lower Ship Yards, will meet with the warmest Encouragement from the Officer appointed to command her, who gives constant Attendance, and expects early Applications, as it is intended to fit her out immediately on an advantageous Cruize. God Save the King" (partial text of poster.) Antiqued parchment paper looks and feels old. The document size is 11" x 14". | ||
