These documents provide an exceptional insight into the influence and network of a courtier at the heart of power, navigating between the high administration, the army, and the arts world during the July Monarchy.

The Protagonist: Jean Vatout, The King's Man

Manuscript: The writing is with a quill and black ink (sepia), in a cursive style typical of the 19th century.
• Authenticity: Each document is authenticated by Vatout's autograph signature, characterized by a beautiful scroll.
