Description

This copy book contains the commercial correspondence of Jean Lacomme, a merchant established in Catalonia, and is a witness to the commercial networks that connected the territory with other European regions during the 18th century. Its activity in the trade of wines and spirits shows the importance of these products in the Catalan economy and its international projection. The document reflects business management, commercial relations and the circulation of goods at a time of economic growth. In terms of heritage, it stands out for its epistolary typology, its private origin and its economic theme, and illustrates Catalan participation in European commercial dynamics.
