Seller's Description
Original 1876 11 3/4 inch x 8 3/4 inch Steel Engraving titled WILLIAM PENN RECEIVING THE CHARTER OF PENNSYLVANIA FROM CHARLES II
William Penn petitioned Charles II, King of England, for a grant of land in America to repay a debt owed to the Penn family. The king likely agreed to Penn's requests as a step towards removing the bothersome Quakers from England. Penn's 1681 charter set the boundaries of the colony, established Penn as Proprietor with the right to dispose of the land and write laws for its inhabitants. The King bestowed the name Pennsylvania upon the land in honor of Admiral Sir William Penn.
From ‘The Royal History of England from the Earliest Period to the Present Time’ by Henry Tyrrell, W.C. Staffordf and John Sherer, Published in 1876 by J.G. Murdoch, 41, Castle Street, Holborn, London.
