Manuscript DS, signed “Victoria R” in the upper left, one page both sides, 8 x 12.5, July 2, 1840. Legal document approving Mr. Edward Zohrab as consul for the Ottoman Empire. In part: “Whereas His Highness the Emperor of the East has by a commission…constituted Mr. Edward Zohrab to be His Consul-General in Our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to assist His Subjects and People in their Commerce and Traffick; and We having thereupon approved of the said Edward Zohrab as Consul-General for the Emperor of the East…We do hereby require you to receive, countenance, and as there may be occasion, favorably to assist him the said Edward Zohrab in the exercise of his Place, giving and allowing unto him all Privileges, Immunities and Advantages thereunto belonging.” Signed at the conclusion by Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Lord Palmerston. Embossed royal seal is affixed to the top of the document to the right of the Queen’s signature. Intersecting storage folds, slight separation to upper horizontal fold, and circular areas of toning from the seal, otherwise fine condition. It was just the fourth year of Queen Victoria’s reign when she approved Mr. Zohrab as general consul—she would go on to rule for sixty more years, ultimately making her the longest-ruling monarch in the history of the United Kingdom.
