MARCEAU FRANCOIS SEVERIN: (1769-1796)

MARCEAU FRANCOIS SEVERIN: (1769-1796) French General who served in the French Revolutionary Wars and was immortalised in Lord Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. An extremely rare manuscript D.S., F Marceau, one page, oblong 8vo, Headquarters at Fontaine-l'Eveque, 20th May 1794, in French. Marceau heads the document with the words Egalite, Liberte, Revolution and continues to provide an order, in full, 'Il est ordonne au garde-magasin de ramasser autant de fourrage qu'il se pourra pour le distribuer aux troupes de la Republique. Il voudra bien designer le lieu ou il aura etabli ce magasin et en faire part au general Bardy' (Translation: 'The storekeeper is ordered to collect as much fodder as possible to distribute it to the troops of the Republic. He will be kind enough to designate the place where he will have established this store and to inform General Bardy of it'). Autographs of Marceau are extremely rare in any form as a result of his untimely death at the age of 27 having received a mortal wound during the Battle of Limburg. Some light age wear and a few minor tears to the slightly uneven edges. About VG
