Patent lists 1806-1811, Bergh, NL

Patent list 1806
Attached the patent list of 1806 stating smiths, including smith Johannes (Hannes) Macrander (*ca.1747-†<1809).

A patent list or patent register is a list of practitioners of self-employment, a kind of precursor of the modern trade register of the Chamber of Commerce.

The patent was established in 1805 by Napoleon in the occupied part of Europe. Practitioners of self-employment then had to request a patent or license to be allowed to conduct their business. Of course one had to pay, before obtaining this patent.
