ROBESPIERRE AUGUSTIN: (1763-1794) Robespierre the Younger. French lawyer and politician, the younger brother of French Revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre. Robespierre the Younger was arrested (at his own request) along with his brother and subsequently the two were executed by guillotine along with twenty of their supporters. D.S., Robespierre je., one page, small folio, Nice, 16th June 1794, in French. The partially printed document, completed in manuscript, is issued in the name of the French people by 'Les representans du peuple deputes par la convention nationale pres l'armee d'Italie et les departemens du var et des alpes maritimes' (Translation: 'The representatives of the people deputed by the national convention to the army of Italy and the departments of Var and Alpes Maritimes') and orders that a payment of 'Quinze cent mille livres' (Translation: 'Fifteen hundred thousand pounds') be made by the Paymaster of the Army. Signed by Robespierre at the foot and countersigned by an army inspector. A little roughly torn to the right and lower edges with a few small areas of paper loss, only very slightly affecting the text. G
The present document was signed by Robespierre in the month before his execution by guillotine.
