King of Great Britain and Ireland (1738–1820) from 1760 until his death. His reign was marked most notably by the loss of British control over the American colonies. Advancing mental illness rendered George unable to fulfill his official duties during the last decade of his life, during which time the Prince Regent, William IV, ruled in his stead. Manuscript DS, signed “George R,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 11.75, May 10, 1777. A “licence to plead” in a legal case involving “certain Trespasses, Assaults, and Misdemeanors.” The embossed paper seal remains intact beneath the signature. Matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 21.5 x 17.75. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, wrinkles, faint scattered spotting and toning, and marginal holes and tears. The signature is large and generally unaffected. R&R COA.
