This is a photograph of a historical document with a coat of arms. The document contains French text related to Alleyne Lord St. Helens and their roles with the British monarchy and the Russian emperor. A heraldic coat of arms is depicted at the top, featuring a lion and a unicorn on either side of a shield with insignia and a crown. A ribbon below the lion reads "DIEU ET MON DROIT." Additional decoration and the name Lord St. Helens can be seen in smaller print at the bottom left. The document appears to date back to 1802 and is printed on aged, cream-colored paper that has darkened at the edges.
