This intriguing image captures a significant moment in the history of trade and commerce during the reign of King Henry VII in 1497. The scene depicts a trial of weights and measures being conducted at the Exchequer, an English government financial institution. The meticulous process aimed to ensure fair and accurate measurements in trade, maintaining trust and confidence among merchants and consumers. In the foreground, a clerk carefully examines a set of weights and measures, while another clerk burns those that did not meet the required standard. The intensity in their expressions underscores the importance of their task. The act of burning the faulty instruments served as a stern reminder to adhere to the regulations, deterring potential cheats and ensuring a level playing field for all.

The trial of weights and measures was just one of the many ways the monarchy sought to regulate commerce and protect consumers. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the meticulous processes that underpinned the commercial world of late medieval England.
