LOUIS XVI, King of France (1754-1793). Partly printed document signed ("Louis"), 19 April 1791. Countersigned by an unidentified administrator.

1 page, folio, creased with short tear, some soiling.

An order to the Treasurer of his Civil List to pay 1,000 livres to dentist S. Dubois, "Dubois Dentiste de la Reine, la somme de Mille livres," as his half-yearly stipend. Jean-Joseph Dubois-Foucou (1748-1840), succeeded Etienne Bourdet as dentist to the royal family after Bourdet's death in 1789, although he did not appear in the Royal Almanac until 1791. On August 1, 1790, he was called to the bedside of Louis XVI for a dental abscess.
