Manuscript document signed by a deputy "Louis". 1 page, 13x10. July 2, 1703. In
French, untranslated. King Louis XIV, whose reign from 1643-1715 was the
longest in European history, chose the sun for his emblem and was called
"Le roi-soleil" (The Sun King). His Court was the most magnificent in Europe and
French letters and arts were in their golden age. In 1661, Louis XIV
commissioned the building of the Palace of Versailles. During his
54-year-reign however, France was also embroiled in a number of wars,
including the Devolution War (1667-1668), the Holland War (1672-1678), the Ten
Years War (1688-1697) and the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714). The
condition of the lower classes was made worse, as the populace was heavily taxed
to raise funds for the war efforts, but Louis was unmoved by the plight of his people.
His idea of government is best summed up in the words attributed to him: "L'état
c'est moi" ("I am the state"). Encapsulated in plastic. Lightly toned, soiled and
creased. Pinhole near top edge. Folded thrice horizontally and three times vertically
and unfolded. Worn and with pinholes along folds. Otherwise in fine condition.

Manuscript Document Signed by a deputy: "Louis, 1p, 18½x11¼. May 11, 1769. In French,
not translated, but seemingly regarding a military commission in the Conde Legion. LOUIS XV
(1710-1774) reigned as King of France from 1715-1774, first with Philippe II, duc
d'Orléans as Regent (1710-1723) and then guided by his advisor André Hercule de
Fleury (1726-1743). The reign of the Bourbon king was known for both love and war.
His mistresses, Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry, became as well known as the
King himself. His 1725 marriage to Marie Leszcynska plunged France into the War of the
Polish Succession. As a result of this and a number of succeeding wars, including the Seven
Years War, expenses mounted, but Louis' court continued its extravagances and the
government was nearly bankrupt by the end of his reign. His failure to solve the
government's financial difficulties led directly to the French Revolution, which
occurred during the reign of his successor, Louis XVI. Centralized vertical fold. Black ink
stains, mostly on verso. 5¼-inch tear extending inward from Right edge. Paper loss at lower

Land Grant Signed by a deputy: "Louis", 1p on vellum, 19½x8¾. May 20, 1732. In French,
not translated. Document allocates land in New France (present day Canada) to
Nicholas Desboveck, effective beginning in January of the following year (1733). Louis
XV (1710-1774) reigned as King of France from 1715-1774, first with Philippe II, Duc
d'Orléans as Regent (1710-1723) and then guided by his advisor André Hercule de Fleury
(1726-1743). The reign of the Bourbon king was known for both love and war. His
mistresses, Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry, became as well known as
the king himself. The King's marriage in 1725 to Marie Leszcynska plunged France into the
War of the Polish Succession. As a result of this war and a number of succeeding wars,
including the Seven Years War, expenses mounted, but Louis' court continued its extravagances
and the government was nearly bankrupt by the end of his reign. His failure to solve the
government's financial difficulties led directly to the French Revolution, which occurred
during the reign of his successor, Louis XVI. Heavily toned, creased, stained, and soiled
throughout. Paper loss at lower right edge. Two hard vertical folds. 7¼ tear extending up and in
from lower right edge (tape has been affixed to verso in an effort to repair the tear). Otherwise,
fine condition.

Manuscript Document Signed by a deputy: "Louis" and "Phelypeaux" 1p, 27x19¾.Written on
vellum. Concerning Louis Fagon, son of the first physician to Louis XIV, and appointing Fagon
to the Conseil Royal de Regence. LOUIS XV (1710-1774) reigned as King of France from
1715-1774, first with Philippe II, duc d'Orléans as Regent (1710-1723) and then guided by his
advisor André Hercule de Fleury (1726-1743). The reign of the Bourbon king was known for
both love and war. His mistresses, Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry, became as
well known as the King himself. His 1725 marriage to Marie Leszcynska plunged France
into the War of the Polish Succession. As a result of this and a number of succeeding
wars, including the Seven Years War, expenses mounted, but Louis' court continued its
extravagances and the government was nearly bankrupt by the end of his reign. His failure to
solve the government's financial difficulties led directly to the French Revolution,
which occurred during the reign of his successor, Louis XVI. Jean-Frederic
PHELYPEAUX, COUNT MAUREPAS (1701-1781) succeeded his father as Secretary
of Marine and the Royal Household for King Louis XV. He sided with the opponents of
administrative and fiscal reform, and thus bears some responsibility for the French government's
virtual bankruptcy by the time of the Revolution. However, he did support technical
improvements that strengthened the French Navy. Horizontal and vertical fold creased with
multiple ware holes at vertical fold. Lower edge has 6x2 piece missing and 4 vertical tears. Left
edge ragged at lower section. Top edge creased and severely soiled. Foxing concentrated at left
edge. Toned and stained throughout.
