Scope and content
A stamped license for 2 dogs under the ‘Dogs Regulation (Ireland) Act, 1865’ dated 30 March 1912.
From the minutely-detailed collie on the stamps to the requirement for the clerk to sign the form in two separate places, this Dog Licence is no simple record of payment. It is a monument to the fusty bureaucracy of the British Empire.
