Princess Mathilde Bonaparte - 2 signed autograph letters - Photograph. Set of two signed autograph letters by Mathilde Bonaparte, known as Princess Mathilde, niece of Napoleon I, cousin of Napoleon III, and host of one of the leading literary and artistic salons of the Second Empire.

One is dated “Tuesday, June 13,” with no year indicated; the other bears only the indication “Monday.” Written in black ink on cream laid paper, each leaf headed with a cold-embossed “M” monogram beneath a crown.

Autograph signature “Mathilde” at the bottom of each letter. In the dated letter, the princess thanks her correspondent for sending a photograph, mentions her upcoming departure from Paris, and sets a meeting, before adding in a postscript that she discovered herself, in the photograph, in the background of a large family portrait belonging to the recipient. The second letter, shorter, cancels a visit planned for the following day and asks for news. Dimensions: 10.1 x 13.2 cm. Condition: Good overall condition, with period central folds, slight soiling, and a small residue of old mounting adhesive on the upper edge of the second letter.
