Lot Description

George William Frederick (1738-1820) and the Prince Regent, George Augustus Frederick, later to become George IV (1762-1830). Order to affix the Great Seal to the Ratification of a Treaty of Accession, concluded at Vienna 25 Mar. 1815. A manuscript document, 7.75 x 12.5 in., consisting of 10 leaves (5 folded and stitched at center fold), with the Treaty in both English and French. Wax and paper seal on first page. Signed by the Prince Regent, the future George IV.

George III was King of Great Britain, then the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760-1820. His reign was marked by conflict from America to Europe to Africa and Asia. He suffered from episodic mental illness (although the cause is much disputed), until finally, in the last decade of his life, he was truly unable to reign and a Regent was appointed to take over the daily running of the nation. The Prince of Wales, the future George IV, would be that regent.
