King Victor Emanuele of Italy. DS. 1 page. 9 3/4" x 14 1/4". Italy. September 23, 1874. A document signed by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. It appears to be some type of award document. The overall condition is fine with light staining and a large, dark signature.
Victor Emmanuel II was King of Sardinia from 1849 until 17 March 1861, when he assumed the title of King of Italy and became the first king of a united Italy since the 6th century, a title he held until his death in 1878. Borrowing from the old Latin title Pater Patriae of the Roman emperors, the Italians gave him the epithet of Father of the Fatherland.
