Descrizione

Oblong 8vo. 1 p. With woodcut coat of arms. Interesting document from the final years of Bernese rule in Vaud and Nyon, as highlighted by Bern's woodcut coat of arms at the head of the form. The passport was issued by M. Aneth, secretary to the bailiff of Nyon, in the name of Jean Gaudin, a young man from nearby Begnins who was travelling to Geneva and back. It includes a description of Gaudin's appearance, also mentioning the amount of money he was carrying. Gaudin's entering and departing from the canton of Geneva in Versoix were noted by two different magistrates, one entry dated 24 Ventôse II (14 February 1794). - While the Revolution had reached Geneva as early as 1792, with rather tumultous consequences, the Canton of Vaud would drive out the Bernese governor in 1798 (with the support of French troops), ending 360 years of foreign rule. The newly-declared Lemanic Republic would soon be incorporated as a canton to the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803). - Minor browning and mimal tears.
