1893 Spain Death Certificate – Lorca Hospital Nurse – 75c Revenue Stamped Paper

Original 1893 Spanish handwritten death record certification issued on ornate official revenue-stamped paper of the Fábrica Nacional del Timbre.

The document records the death entry of María Concepción Miras, identified in the manuscript as the senior nurse (Enfermera Mayor) of the Hospital de Beneficencia in Lorca, Murcia, Spain.

The document is particularly attractive for its elaborate printed fiscal heading, marked:

and numbered N.º 0080581.

The certification is extensively handwritten in period Spanish script and bears an official ink stamp, embossed seal and manuscript signature.
