About This Item
Document Signed as Queen, August 29, 1837, appointing Thomas Hamilton a major in the Nineteenth Regiment of Foot of the British Army. Very good, some foxing, with a paper and wax seal. An extremely early example of her autograph as Queen, and the earliest document we can find of hers having reached the public sale market in the past decade.
Victoria became Queen on June 20th. It is particularly interesting to note that Hamilton’s promotion to Major was to date from January 23rd which was during the reign of her predecessor, King William IV.
