France, 1761. Outer cover is printed in paper. Interior is the agreement printed on vellum. Multiple-page document in French regarding the payment of hereditary annuities granted by the French King Louis XVI and Parliament, which goes over terms and policies in great detail. Louis XVI was the last king of France before the fall of the monarchy during the French Revolution. He was referred to as Citizen Louis Capet during the four months just before he was executed by guillotine. Also mentioned in the text is Joseph Micault d'Harvelay, who was a Royal Treasury Guard and State Councilor at the time of the document. The subject of the document seems to be Marquis Etienne Auguste Baude, who was also a knight in the Royal Army. Fascinating financial piece of pre-Revolutionary France history, unique and rare.
