Christmas card from Louise to Baroness D’Orczy at her Monte Carlo villa. The Baroness is probably best remembered for introducing the literary world to Sir Percy Blakeney and his alter ego, ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’
Letter to Louise from her mother. If the black border and royal seal on reverse were not sufficient to identify the sender , it clearly says from The Queen. At some stage the stamp was considered more collectable than the envelope. The fact that the Queen had to put one of her own stamps on the envelope is of interest.
The invitation is for 10-30 pm, quite a late start for the pleasure to begin
The Princess Louise (under construction)
