The signatures of the notaries of the different districts of Castelló in 1876
They show beauty and originality in the designs and shapes, some more than others.
In the images you can see what the rubric was for each of them, at least 49 professionals practicing on that date throughout the province.
It is possible to know these signatures thanks to the notarial indexes of the period 1875-1899.
Unfortunately, most districts lost all or practically all the protocols prior to the last civil war and, with this type of document, we are allowed to make approximations of the notarial activity and other data that emerged in each district during those years .
