George III & William IV Two Autographs of British Kings
WILLIAM IV (1765-1837). King of Great Britain and Ireland, a.k.a. the "Sailor-King".
GEORGE III (1738-1820). Reigned from 1760 to 1820, and the British King during both the American Revolution and War of 1812.
Sold Together, Two Extremely Large Clipped Signatures of British Kings William IV and George III. Both are large signatures and are written on Vellum, having been cut from the upper left of official Government Documents. Both Clips bear the official Wax and Paper Seal of Great Britain, with blue Embossed Revenue Tax payment tags at lower left.
1. George III reigned from 1760 to 1820 (technically, although the last decade the Prince Regent, who would become George IV was the effective ruler), and has been known for over a century as the "King who lost America". With the passage of time, later historians have been a bit kinder to George.
2. William IV ruled from 1830 to 1837. William was the third son of George III, and last king of the House of Hanover in Britain (although his niece, Victoria, also of Hanover, would succeed him).
A very nice looking pair of historic British Royalty signatures. (2 items)
