King of Great Britain and Ireland (born 1738) 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. Manuscript DS, signed “George R,” one page, 8 x 13, February 27, 1792. Document regarding the establishment of a new regiment. In part: “You do pay unto our trusty & beloved Captain John Armstrong, the sum of seven hundred seventy seven pounds…without deduction, being for the levy money & pay of sundry Non-Commissioned Officers & private men raised by him towards forming an Independent Company of Foot.” Signed at the top by George. Double matted and framed to an overall size of 16.25 x 21.5. Light intersecting folds and some scattered light toning and soiling, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned etching of George and a document related to Armstrong.
