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. Large, bold ink signature, “George R,” on an off-white 5 x 2 slip clipped from a partially printed document on vellum. In fine condition, with vertical folds touching signature and close trimming just touching top and bottom edges of writing. R&R COA.
