Description

King George III

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. Partly-printed DS, signed “George R.,” one page, 13.5 x 9.5, July 9, 1807. Appointment for Charles Baron Preden a captain “in the First Regiment of Dragoons of our German Legion.” Signed at the top by George. In very good condition, with three vertical folds, scattered soiling and spotting, including some over signature, and handwritten portions of the document fairly light, but still mostly legible. The white wafer seal is intact and only slightly worn, with a pin through bottom portion. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
