A special license issued to a ship during the war between France and Spain to import goods into France from Spain without impediment during the ship’s travels, given at the Imperial Quarter of Troyes, France on Feb 26, 1814, signed by Napoleon as Emperor. The historical context is exceptional, wartime trade during the Spanish campaign, from the final months of the Empire (weeks before abdication), signed as Emperor, and bears multiple ministerial co-signatures.
