350 YEARS IN 66 ITEMS 17. Societé du Commerce d’Asie & d’Afrique Share Certificate, 1000 florins, [1781], no.1642, 215 x 345mm, hand-signed by Guillaume Bolts and Charles de Proli, black printing with manuscript insertions, receipts for four payments of 250 florins below, good very fine. *This company was founded by Empress Maria Theresia as the last Austrian venture into the East Indies trade. It was formed to take advantage of the Revolutionary Wars raging between France, Britain and the Netherlands, and to monopolize their fallen trade. William Bolts, an adventurer and trader, initiated the setting up of the company with Charles Proli, a banker. Initially business which focused on the tea trade with China was brisk, but on the signing of an Armistice in 1783 this trade reverted back to the English. Shortly after this the company went bankrupt; Proli’s bank collapsed and he committed suicide. Bolts went on to trade successfully on his own account. WWW.SPINK.COM
