Ineffectual King of France from 1715 to 1774 who was dominated by his strong-willed and unscrupulous mistress, Madame de Pompadour. Manuscript DS, signed “Louis,” one page, 9.5 x 14.25, October 1, 1762. Royal Treasury document granting a pension of 150 pounds to Anne Papel, a “new Catholic,” for one year. Signed on the left side by King Louis XV, with the “Louis” on the right side done in a secretarial hand. In fine condition, with a vertical tear to the bottom edge. A beautiful document authentically signed by the French king, which is quite rare.
