LOUIS XVI, King of France (1754-1793). Partly printed document signed ("Louis"), July 16, 1791. Countersigned by Arnaud de Laporte.  

1 page, folio, some minor staining and a few tiny holes.  

An order to the Treasurer of his Civil List to pay 30,000 livres for "Menus Plaisirs" ("lesser pleasures") for expenses for ceremonies, festivals, theater, clothes, carriages, and other expenses.   Countersigned by Arnaud de Laporte (1737-1792), trusted loyalist to the King who was beheaded in 1792.   Issued just one month after Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's return to Paris, and illustrative of Louis XVI's outrageous spending.
