EDWARD VII SIGNED AS KING EDWARD VII (1841-1910, King of Great Britain)

Rare document signed as King 'Edward R & I' printed with the details filled in by hand, saying that "Whereas The President of the French Republic has by a Commission bearing date the 24th of June 1905 appointed Mr Charles de Contonly to be Consul General at Calcutta and We having approved of this appointment ... We hereby require that you do receive, countenance, and as there may be occasion favourably assist him the said Chales de Contonly ...", countersigned by Lord LANSDOWNE(Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess, 1845-1927, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), 1 side large folio with revenue stamp, Court at St James's, 29th October

The appointment must have been made by Émile François LOUBET (1838-1929, President of the French Republic, 1899-1906).
It is very unusual to find anything signed as King.
