World League of Peace Manuscript Document Signed By Vietnam Emperor Bao Dai.

Original World League of Peace manuscript document signed by the last ruling emperor of the Nguyen dynasty of Vietnam, Emperor Bao Dai. Folio, one page, manuscript document in French, docketed on verso, embossed stamp at bottom left on verso. The Emperor writes, in full, "Peace among nations, reconciliation among men of all races, what finer ideal! We must be grateful to the World Peace League for working on that noble task. All goodhearted men must lend it their assistance and support its efforts. Bao Dai Emperor of Annam." Bao Dai reigned from 1926 until 1945 when he abdicated following the August Revolution led by the Viet Minh. Although he briefly returned to political life as head of state under French and later U.S. backing, his role remained largely symbolic, and he ultimately spent his later years in exile in France, marking the end of Vietnam's imperial monarchy. In fine condition. The piece measures 11.5 inches by 16.5 inches. Rare.
