Military Appointment Signed: ""Louis" as King of France and "L'Etang DuPont" as Minister
of War, 17x12. Paris, October 8, 1814. Appointment of a Major in a dragoon regiment.
KING LOUIS XVIII of France (1755-1824), the grandson of the guillotined Louis XVI
and the son of Louis XVII (who died in prison in 1795, unrecognized by the French
Republic), lived in exile from 1791 until 1814, when Allied armies restored him to power
by defeating Napoleon. He returned to Paris in April 1814, taking up residence in the
Tuileries Palace, only to flee the city in March of 1815 when Napoleon, having escaped
from his own exile, returned to Paris for the Hundred Days. Defeated again at Waterloo,
Napoleon was permanently exiled, and Louis returned to the capital. Intent on restoration of
Bourbon power and the privileges of the aristocracy, Louis XVIII did not undo all of the
reforms introduced by the Revolution and Napoleon, and tried to restrain the ultra-Royalists
who wanted more vengeance upon their defeated foes. Louis actually retained many
Napoleonic officers in his service, a perhaps mistaken attempt at reconciliation, since
many of them defected to Napoleon during the Hundred Days. Louis reigned until 1824,
the last French monarch to die while still on the throne. PIERRE DUPONT DE
L'ESTANG (1765-1840) was a Napoleonic general who later on was employed by Louis
XVIII in a military capacity. A successful division commander in several campaigns, he was
made Napoleon's scapegoat when his untrained army was defeated in Spain. Court martialed
and imprisoned by Napoleon, he returned to favor as Louis XVIII's Minister of War
(April-December 1814). He remained loyal to the King during the 100 Days, and sat in the
French legislature from 1815 to 1830. Multiple folds. Toned and creased. Paper seal near
bottom left edge. Heavily stained at lower edge. Corners worn and creased. Pencil marks in an
unknown hand. Otherwise, fine condition.
