Partly-printed DS, in French, signed “Lafayette,” one page, 12 x 9.5, August 7, 1790. An untranslated brevet appointment in the “De Volontaire de la Garde Nationale Parisienne,” issued to Simon Versigny, signed at the top by Lafayette. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.25 x 15. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning and soiling, light rippling, and handwritten portions a shade or two light, but still legible. A year earlier, Lafayette was acclaimed commander-in-chief of the National Guard of France, an armed force established to maintain order under the control of the Assembly.
