Eccentric king of Bavaria (1864–1886) whose extravagant tastes, generous patronage of the arts, and penchant for exquisite palaces (one of which, Neuschwanstein, was the model for Cinderella’s castle at Disneyland), nearly drained the royal treasury before he finally succumbed to insanity. Partially printed DS, in German, boldly signed “Ludwig,” one page, 8.25 x 13, October 3, 1881. Untranslated official appointment in a Fraktur secretarial hand related to one Ludwig Scharrer. In fine condition, with mild toning, folds (away from signature), marginal chip to one corner, and slight feathering to signature. R&R COA.
