Lot Description
[FRANCE]. LOUIS-PHILIPPE, King of France (1773-1850). Ordonnance du Roi. Châteauroux, France: Typographie de ve Teisserenc-Bayvet, 14 June 1842. 

15 3/4 x 20 3/8 in. printed broadside (minor toning, creasing); framed to 19 1/4 x 25 1/4 in. (not examined out of frame). Signed in type by King Louis-Philippe, T. Duchatel, A. Passy, and Le Préfet de l'Indre, Bonnet.

An ordinance issued by the July Monarch Louis-Philippe with 5 articles, namely the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies and with instructions for the electoral colleges and the next elections. Although the citizens initially hailed King Louis-Philippe as the "Citizen King", his reign is notable for conservative policies and the power of wealthy industrialists. The February Revolution erupted in 1848 and forced his abdication. 

Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
