Last Empress consort of the French from 1853 to 1871 as the wife of Napoleon III, Emperor of the French. Untranslated ALS in French, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 9.5 x 7.75, no date. Eugenie pens a beautifully florid letter to a friend. Matted and framed, so that both sides can be viewed, to an overall size of 13.75 x 12.25. A few stray marks, a pencil notation, and some light brushing to the signature, otherwise fine condition.
