Description

King George III

King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until his death in 1820. 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,” three pages both sides, 8 x 12.5, August 3, 1809. Document ratifying “a Separate Article to the Treaty of Alliance and Subsidy between Us and Our Good Brother The King of the Two Sicilies.” The concluding four pages are written in Latin and contain the full particulars of the Article mentioned at the beginning. Signed at the top of the first page, “George R.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. The embossed paper seal on the first page is crisp and intact and document retains its original binding ribbon. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
