One of the most notorious members of the National Convention during the French Revolution, he presided over the trial of Louis XVI and voted for his execution (1755–1841). Bold LS in French, signed “B. Barere,” one page both sides, 8.25 x 12.5, July 16, 1812. Letter to the minister of the interior, regarding an unfair appraisal of his property. In part (translated): “Your Excellency rendered a decision that an ancient convent of the Benedictines of St. Lezar would be used as a mendicant depot for the Dept. of the High Pyrenees. And to this effect, experts would proceed to appraise these buildings which I have offered to sell for 30,000 francs.” Intersecting folds, and light scattered creases and toning, otherwise fine condition. Uncommon in any form, this is the first Barere we have offered.
