Bought of Samuel Hurd. Wax & Tallow Chandler (1778)

Between 1772 and 1778, Samuel Hurd changed his business from tallow chandler only to wax and tallow chandler. This bill heading, engraved by Barak Longmate the Elder (1737-93), still bears the arms only of the Tallow Chandlers with the motto: Ecce Agnus Dei qui tollit peccata mundi.
