EMPRESS EUGÉNIE (1826 - 1920)
2 Fine Letters to Napoleon III. 20,5 x 13,2 cm 1. Autograph letter. s.l.n.d. July 1858]. On the life of the Court (a bal where General Clerc makes advances to her) and on the threats hanging over the Emperor (she mentions Mazzini) then in Plombières for his interview with Cavour (21 July). With an amusing remark: “... Tear up this letter that I write without thinking about it as an idea comes to me and that I would be sorry to see appear in a collection like the intimate letters of Madame de Pompadour...”. 2. Autograph letter. Madrid, 31 October 1871. Beautiful letter about his love for the Emperor and the Imperial Prince, about his confidence in the judgement of history and about the situation of Spain (“that concierge lodge of Europe”).
