Eccentric king of Bavaria, 1864-86, whose extravagant arts patronage and penchant for exquisite palaces (one of which, the Neuschwanstein, was the model for Cinderella's castle at Disneyland), nearly drained the royal treasury before he finally succumbed to insanity. DS, signed 'Ludwig,' one page, 4 x 5.25, March 20, 1840. Short document, in German, written in Ludwig's hand, which has been trimmed from a larger document. Document has been taped by two edges to a slightly larger card. Tape to top and left edge affecting a few words, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
