The last king of Burma

King Thibaw - born 1 January 1859, the 41st son of King Mindon and the Laungshe Queen, 11th and last king of the Konbaung dynasty, regnal title Thiri Pawara Ditya Lanka Wizara Nanda Yatha Tilawkadhipati Pandita Maha Dhamma Razadhiraza, assumed the throne October 1878, deposed by the British November 1885, died in exile 19 December 1916 age 57.

A controversial choice and a controversial king, he nevertheless presided over a reformist government that tried desperately to modernize whilst preserving the country's independence.

His signature below the photograph is the only one that I know.
