King of Great Britain and Ireland (born 1738) 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. DS, signed “George R,” one page, 13.25 x 9.25, June 27, 1810. Military appointment of an Ensign in the 34 Regiment of Foot. Signed in the top left corner by George and countersigned by Secretary of War Robert Lukin. George’s signature shows the ravages of his mental illness and blindness. In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, previous storage folds, a few small cuts to document where seals were originally places, and light overall wrinkling. RRAuction COA.
