Revolutionary and political leader (1783–1830) whose military campaigns against the Spanish were instrumental in the emergence of the independent nations of modern South America, including Bolivia, which was named in his honor. Partly-printed DS in Spanish, one page, 8.25 x 12, October 23, 1829. As "Liberator President" of the Republic of Colombia, Bolivar grants a military promotion. In part (translated): "In view of the merits and services of 1st Lt. Pablo Tovar of the First Company of the Ayacucho Battalion, I have determined to grant him the rank of captain. Therefore, I order and command the corresponding commander to place him in possession of the mentioned rank of captain, upholding and causing to be upheld for him the rights, honors, and privileges pertaining to that rank; and that this dispatch be noted in the corresponding treasury offices so that he may receive the salary increase provided by law." Further endorsed on the reverse and integral leaf by several military commanders and government officials. In very good to fine condition, with binding holes, and minor paper loss, to the left edge.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
