art critic has suggested it for purely commercial purposes' and continuing to state 'i have a \u201cratto\u201d (40 x 50), but it's only sketched out, and i think it will take me a good week to get it

francisco jose de:  (1746-1828) spanish painter. goya is considered the most important spanish painter of the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries and is regarded as the last of the old masters and the first of the moderns. a precursor of the expressionism. his masterpiece portrayal of a naked woman, la maja desnuda (\"the naked maja\"), now in the museo del prado in madrid, was a remarkably daring nude for the time, renowned for the unashamed gaze of the model towards the viewer without negative connotations. an exceptionally rare l.s., ` fran [cis] co de goya´, three pages, 4to, bordeaux, 30 th november 1824, to the duchess of san fernando, in spanish.  goya apologies for his hasty departure from paris preventing him from saying goodbye to her himself, stating in part ` cuando salí de paris para venir a esta [ciudad], dispuse atropelladamente mi viaje; el tiempo urgía, me hallaba sin dinero, y admití la oferta de unos amigos que me anticiparon los gastos del camino\u2026´   (  translation: ` when i left paris to come to this [city] , i hastily organized my trip; time was urgent, i was without money, and i accepted the offer of some friends who anticipated the expenses of the trip\u2026\") goya is still not sure about his near future and explains that his has requested to the king of spain an extension of his permission to leave his court painter obligations, saying ` aqui estoy, sin saber lo que debo hacer de mi.   he pedido una prórroga, siquiera para poder pasar el invierno al calor de la chimenea, y no se si s  [u] m [ajestad] tendrá a bien de concedérmela\u2026´   (  translation: \" here i am, not knowing what i should make of myself. i have asked for an extension, at least that i can spend the winter in the warmth before a fireplace, and i don't know if h [is] m [ajesty] will be good enough to grant it to me\u2026\") further again, goya explains in full detail what the present he has sent to his correspondent is, being some drafts, drawings and figurines of three dwarfs, stating in part ` me tomo la libertad de remitir a v.e. esos tres comisionados , a quienes doy el encargo especial de asegurarla cuan agradecido estoy a la memoria que conserva de mi, y cuanto deseo complacerla y servirla.   son tres enanos que se presentaron en la feria de burdeos dos meses hace, y me pareció conveniente sacar un tanteo de sus caras y sus figurillas. el de los pantaloncitos tiene 18 pulgadas, de los otros dos (que son marido y mujer) ella tiene 21 pulgadas y el esposo 20.   celebraré que cumplan su comisión, según los deseos del invalido que los envia´  (translation: ` i take the liberty of sending to y.e. those three commissioners [referring to his three dwarfs figurines] , to whom i give the special charge of assuring you how grateful i am to the memory you keep of me, and how much i wish to please and serve you. they are three dwarfs who appeared at the bordeaux fair two months ago, and i thought it convenient to make a test of their faces and their figurines. the one with the short trousers is 18 inches, and the other two (who are husband and wife) she is 21 inches and the husband is 20. i will celebrate that they fulfil their commission, according to the wishes of the invalid who sends them\" [goya refers here to himself]) goya has a lengthy list of important portraits paintings of dwarfs. an exceptional document, with very interesting content related to goya´s last years, short after his arrival to france, and referring to his work on three dwarves he met at a fair in bordeaux. a letter in very fine condition. vg    \n    \n  goya became a court painter to the spanish crown in 1786 and this early part of his career is marked by portraits of the spanish aristocracy. in 1793 an illness left him deaf, after which his work became progressively darker. in 1799 goya became the first court painter, the highest rank for a spanish court painter, under king charles iv of spain.   \n  during the peninsular war and napoleon´s invasion of spain, goya remained in madrid, and his series of paintings  disasters of war , or his painting the second of may 1808 , show how much this war affected him deeply, fearing for his country´s fate. he also painted important portraits of the royal spanish family and of lord wellington.  \n  his late period is marked by the black paintings, on the plaster walls of his own house \"la quinta del sordo\" (\"the house of the deaf man\") where disillusioned by political and religious corruption, and by social developments in spain, he lived near isolation. he also painted dwarves, and persons with insanity or in mental asylums, as well as themes related with witches and fantastical creatures.  \n     \n  goya abandoned spain in 1824, the year of the present letter, to retire to the french city of bordeaux from where the present letter is written. he was accompanied by his maid and companion leocadia weiss, 42 years younger than him, although it remains unclear if she was or not his lover.  \n  it was at that time and in bordeaux where goya completed his well-known series of paintings  la tauromaquia, depicting bullfighting scenes.   \n   \n  goya died and was buried in bordeaux, but was later re-interred in the royal hermitage of san antonio de la florida in madrid. famously, the skull was missing, and the spanish consul to bordeaux reported so to his superiors in madrid, who wired back \"  send goya, with or without head\".  \n    \n  the present letter is most probably in the hand of leandro fernández de moratín (1760-1828) spanish dramatist, poet, and translator of works of moliere and shakespeare into spanish. goya made his friend´s portrait in his late years in bordeaux. fernandez de moratin lived his late years in exile in france and died in paris only two months after goya passed away in bordeaux.   \n    \n  the present letter is written to maria luisa of bourbon and villabriga (1783-1846) duchess of san fernando de quiroga. she was directly related to several kings of spain, being the grand-daughter of philip v, the niece of charles iii, and cousin of charles iv. maria luisa and her husband, first duke of san fernando, went into exile in 1823 to paris."},"estimateMax":80000,"lotNumber":"696","title":{"es":"goya francisco jose de:

- granted; but they would have stated a case on which the courts had not then given a decision\u2026..more important to them personally, they would have taken some of the heat off hollywood\u2026..in a certain grim sense let us admit that the hollywood ten got what was coming to them. in a critical moment they lacked the courage to stand up and be counted. would the rest of us, faced with the same problem, have a clearer courage? let us have a little justice. these ten men were not convicted of being communists; they were convicted, essentially, of not being heroes. but in hollywood you don't learn to be a hero. you learn to be expedient - - or you get the hell out. and the dilemma of the expedient man is that he can never be sure whose throat he is cutting. it may be his own' . a lucid letter written in the wake of one of the most controversial moments in the history of hollywood, resulting in the imprisonment of the hollywood ten, including dalton trumbo and edward dmytryk, who defied the house un-american activities committee. with a few annotations etc. made in preparation for publication. vg"},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"856","title":{"es":"chandler raymond: (1888-1959)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/34622/lot/127017/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":2600,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:24:44.741Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 -

anyone can do that who can write or imagine at all - you must eat the slice, digest it, & build it up into a living organism. that's the meaning of creation in art. if you doubt me, ask \"her whose interest & enthusiasm inspired this effort\", and if she is the right sort of woman, as i hope with all my heart for your sake she is, she will say yes and tell you that you must follow the first step to the end of the journey. outside the most lighthearted comedy, there must be no happy endings; but there must be no unhappy endings at all: there must be great endings, or hopeful, or right endings; but happiness & unhappiness are the positive & negative ends of life only with fools. plenty of people are giving up the happy ending only to substitute the negative for the positive form of it & offer un happy endings, which are equally unconvincing & much less pleasant'. shaw concludes his letter making a reference to his own work, 'my play is not typed yet. when it is, you shall read it if i can get a copy disengaged before it reaches the stage, concerning which, by the way, nothing is yet settled' . a letter of magnificent literary content in which shaw provides a masterful lesson in writing and offers his opinions on the difference between a true playwright and a gifted amateur. some light overall age toning and a few light, minor creases, about vg  \n  william heinemann (1863-1920) english publisher, the founder of the heinemann publishing house in london which represented authors including h. g. wells, robert louis stevenson and rudyard kipling.   \n  heinemann's 'modern' play  the first step: a dramatic moment , discussed in the present letter, was published by john lane in 1895 and in a note within the publication the author observes that it was not his objective to write anything that 'would satisfy the usual requirements of a stage play\u2026.but simply to snatch one dramatic moment out of a story of today'.   \n  from 1895-98 shaw was the theatre critic for  the saturday review and the opening lines of the present letter evidently refer to a review of the first step which shaw had published.  \n  sydney olivier (1859-1943) 1 st baron olivier. british civil servant, a fabian and member of the labour party. olivier was recognised as one of the 'big four' within the fabian movement in london, alongside shaw, sidney webb and graham wallas. the uncle of actor laurence olivier, sydney olivier was a writer throughout his life, attempting poetry although faring better with a few plays, which were first performed at the fabian society, and a fabian paper on emile zola (1890).  \n  shaw was working on two plays in 1895,  the man of destiny , set in italy during the early career of napoleon , and the four-act play you never can tell, although neither were performed or published until several years later."},"estimateMax":10000,"lotNumber":"885","title":{"es":"shaw george bernard: (1856-1950)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/34622/lot/127046/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":8000,"soldPrice":7200,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:24:46.615Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac8,000 -

that it is weakened with time like the radiation of active bodies\u2026.in particular the products having been used for my first experiments and which had been presented by marie curie in 1899, have almost completely lost the ability to emit alpha rays. these products already being\u2026.weakened in 1901\u2026..served to highlight the existence of secondary effects, effects due to the persistent radiation. by repeating the same experiments with the products\u2026..more active, although some weakened\u2026..i wondered then if the persistent particles\u2026..the alpha radiation\u2026.would not remain independently of these; i then repeated the experiments of 1901 with the product clusters that i accumulated because they are inert due to the diffusion of alpha rays, and i obtained fields similar to those of 1901; i then started again the experiments of 1901 with the old products\u2026.important facts 1. the independence between the penetrating radiation and the alpha rays, and 2. the permanence of penetrants, and this fact makes it possible to classify polonium definitively in the class of radioactive bodies, instead of considering it as a finished body whose intensity disappears with time. thus, in the same body there can exist two types of independent conditions\u2026.it should be assumed that\u2026.of polonium, beta rays\u2026.so it seems that the 3 types of radiation that\u2026.and rays\u2026..to admit a dependence between the alpha, beta and y rays of the radiation assets and the independence which has just been established is of a nature to consider that some produce\u2026..on the cause of the radioactivity'  ). a working manuscript of excellent content for its discussion of polonium and radioactivity, which was presented to the academy of sciences. some light age wear and three tears to the upper edge, only very slightly affecting one word of text, otherwise vg"},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"912","title":{"es":"becquerel henri: (1852-1908)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/34622/lot/127073/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:24:47.634Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 -

that is, i believe, what should not be done\u201d)  carnot recommends ` une grande bataille\u201d (\u201ca great battle´\u201d), and plans the different steps to take before the battle to be absolutely ready, and also what to do if they are defeated, further referring to the revolution and making significant statements, saying ` la revolution est un torrent que les maratistes s´efforcent

(translation: ` the revolution is a torrent that the maratists strive to swell, that the rollandists strive to stop, that wise men strive to direct by solid dikes. the two opposing parties tend to the same goal which is to submerge everything\u201d) before concluding carnot explains where the french republic could be if things would have been properly planned but shows his confidence in future stating ` vous pouvez apprécier maintenant, mon cher collègue, le système de ceux qui voudraient qu´on portât la guerre en espagne avant le mois d´avril.   vous voyez si avec les lenteurs inséparables

alexander i. his tasks as ambassador included attempting to arrange a marriage between napoleon and one of the sisters of the tsar. he strongly advised napoleon against his proposed campaign into russia but was unsuccessful in dissuading the emperor. caulincourt also served napoleon as grand marshal of the palace and minister of foreign affairs. the provision for napoleon on the island of elba after his abdication is credited to caulaincourt, who reportedly was able to influence the tsar alexander i for this disposition.  \n    \n  the treaty of chaumont was a series of separately-signed but identically-worded agreements in 1814 between the austrian empire, the kingdom of prussia, the russian empire and the united kingdom. they were dated in march 1814. the treaty was intended to draw the powers of the sixth coalition into a closer alliance in case france rejected the peace terms they had recently offered. each power agreed to put 150,000 soldiers in the field against france and to guarantee for twenty years the european peace against french aggression. the resulting treaty of chaumont was signed by emperor alexander i, emperor francis ii, king frederick william iii, and british foreign secretary viscount castlereagh. the treaty called for napoleon to give up all conquests and thus to revert france to its pre-revolutionary borders in exchange for a ceasefire. if napoleon rejected the treaty, the allies pledged to continue the war. if napoleon accepted, he would be allowed to continue to rule as the emperor of the french and to keep a dynasty. the following day, napoleon rejected the treaty, which ended his last chance of a negotiated settlement. the decisions were again ratified and put into effect by the congress of vienna of 1814-1815. the terms were largely written by lord castlereagh. key terms included the establishment of a confederated germany, the division of italy into independent states, the restoration of the bourbon kings of spain and the enlargement of the netherlands to include what in 1830 became belgium. the treaty became the cornerstone of the alliance that formed the european balance of power for decades."},"estimateMax":800,"lotNumber":"1021","title":{"es":"maximilian, count of merveldt:

noisy, self-assertive, whining and frankly unpleasant. he did not strike me as intelligent'  \n    \n  the pulitzer prize winning american historian and author henry f. pringle (1897-1958) wrote in his review of sherwood's  roosevelt and hopkins: an intimate history , 'the months which have elapsed since the publication of this remarkable book give some opportunity to judge its actual value, both as history and as the biography of one of the most astonishing figures of our time\u2026\u2026the final appraisal of this life and times of harry l. hopkins must await, as mr. sherwood would surely agree, the remaining volumes from the eloquent pen of winston churchill\u2026\u2026.all these, other books as yet unknown and further examination of the papers of franklin d. roosevelt - not to mention appraisal of enemy sources - will determine the final judgments of world war ii. but at this stage it is safe to state categorically that mr. sherwood's book tells more, and tells it better, more honestly and more vividly, than any other single book on this most terrible of wars. from the viewpoint of the historian, it may be noted, the fact that roosevelt and hopkins was written at all raises interesting and provocative questions\u2026\u2026this reviewer was informed, in the very recent past, that top secret and secret classifications still applied to information which reflected discredit on high-ranking military leaders\u2026..the point of interest in mr. sherwood's book is that the author, a civilian, was able to bypass all such restrictions through the fact of having access to mr. hopkins' papers' ."},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"1028","title":{"es":"[churchill winston s.]: (1874-1965)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/34622/lot/127189/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":1000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:25:03.967Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,000 - \u20ac1,500","currency":"EUR","id":127189,"estimateMin":1000},{"startPrice":200,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127190/003/003.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-07-13","available":false,"description":{"es":"montgomery b.l.:  \n (1887-1976) british field marshal of world war ii. vintage signed 8.5 x 6.5 photograph of montgomery seated outdoors in a full-length pose, wearing his uniform and beret, at the centre of a group consisting of seven other men, one of them lieutenant general sir brian horrocks (1895-1985), and most of the others civic dignitaries. photograph by kemsley newspapers ltd of manchester and bearing their credit stamp to the verso. signed ( 'montgomery of alamein, field-marshal' ) by montgomery in bold blue fountain pen ink to a light area at the base of the image and dated april 1947 in his hand. about ex"},"estimateMax":300,"lotNumber":"1029","title":{"es":"montgomery b.l.: (1887-1976)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/34622/lot/127190/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":200,"soldPrice":190,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:25:03.969Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac200 - \u20ac300","currency":"EUR","id":127190,"estimateMin":200},{"startPrice":200,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/017/017.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/018/018.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/019/019.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/020/020.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/021/021.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/022/022.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/023/023.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127191/024/024.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-07-13","available":false,"description":{"es":"montgomery b. l.:  \n (1887-1976) british field marshal of world war ii. small group of three a.ls.s., montgomery of alamein , five pages (total), 8vo, hampshire (2) and murren, may 1949 - december 1950, all to paul loosli, the president of the gstaad ski club and director of tourism in gstaad, on various printed stationery including that of the palace hotel des alpes. montgomery writes largely concerning his travel and accommodation arrangements for switzerland, in part, 'thank you for the photographs;

jean:  (1888-1979) french civil servant, diplomat, administrator and political visionary who played a significant role as a representative of france, and adviser to winston s. churchill and franklin d. roosevelt, during world war ii. an influential supporter of european unity during the 1950s, monnet is considered one of the founding fathers of the european union and is often looked upon as the 'father of europe' in recognition of his pioneering and innovative concepts. an extremely rare and historically important world war ii date a.l.s., jean monnet , three pages, 4to, n.p., 25 th september 1943 ( 'samedi soir' ), to henri giraud ( 'mon general' ), in french.  monnet makes an impassioned plea to giraud, 'en cette heure grave je viens vous prier de reconsiderer votre decision et de demeurer avec nous' (translation: 'in the grave hour i come to ask you to reconsider your decision and to remain with us' ) and continues to set out his reasons, 'je comprends mieux que personne l'amertume que peut vous donner la forme desagreable des relations entre certains membres du comite. je comprends aussi que parfois vous soyez las d'avoir toujours a soutenir des debats penibles. mais nous sommes arrives au point ou la liberation de la france est prochaine. il nous faut sans perdre une minute ni un gramme de nos forces preparer la rentree en france. pour cela je suis convaincu que, entre autres, cinq questions sont essentielles: organiser le travail du comite afin qu'il prepare enfin utilement toutes les mesures que nous devons prevoir et prendre pour la rentree en france; que nous precisions et fassions reconnaitre definitivement la responsabilite collective du comite; que vous vous concentriez sur votre role de commandant en chef sans etre tenu par une tache administrative; que nous precisions comment sera nommee l'assemblee provisoire qui nommera la gouvernement provisoire; qu'enfin nous precisions notre politique vis-a-vis de nos allies. l'objet des dispositions soumises au comite etait de preciser les trois premieres questions. j'ai vote pour les mesures proposees car dans leur ensemble je les crois bonnes. ainsi que je vous l'ai dit voici de longs mois je suis convaincu que le commandent en chef des troupes francaises jouera un role allie essential lorsque les troupes alliees et francaises rentreont en france.   pour que la france ait le benefice complet de cette position il faut que le commandant en chef soit vous'  (translation: 'i understand better than anyone the bitterness that the disagreeable form of relations between certain members of the committee can give you. i also understand that sometimes your tired of always having to sustain painful debates. but we have reached the point where the liberation of france is near. we must, without wasting a minute or a gram of our forces, prepare for the return to france. for this i am convinced that, among others, five questions are essential: to organise the work of the committee so that it finally prepares usefully all the measures that we must plan and take for the return of france; that we specify and have the committee's collective responsibility definitively recognised; that you concentrate on your role as commander-in-chief without being bound by an administrative task; that we specify how the provisional assembly which will appoint the provisional government will be named; that finally we clarify our policy vis-à-vis our allies. the purpose of the provisions submitted to the committee was to clarify the first three questions. i voted for the proposed measures because overall i believe them to be good. as i told you many months ago, i am convinces that the commander-in-chief of the french troops will play an essential allied role when the allied and french troops return to france. for france to have the full benefit of this position, the commander-in-chief must be you' ).  monnet concludes his letter with a particular appeal to giraud, 'maintenant permettez-moi de vous dire un mot personnel, car plus que qui que ce soit je suis votre compagnon de la premiere heure dans cette enterprise de l'unite francaise, et je sais que vous et moi n'avons qu'une seule pensee: servir la france: mon general, quelles que soient les deceptions des mois derniers, il nous faut demeurer a nos postes; il nous faut maintenir debout le comite, et il nous faut conduire l'armee francaise.   je vous supplie de nas pas rendre votre decision definitive'  (translation: 'now allow me to say a personal word to you, because more than anyone i am your companion from the start in this enterprise of french unity, and i know that you and i have only one thought: to serve france. my general, whatever the disappointments of the last months, we must remain at our posts; we must keep the committee standing, and we must lead the french army. i beg you not to make your decision final' ). a letter of truly exceptional content and excellent association written at an important moment for france during world war ii. about ex  \n  henri giraud (1879-1949) french general and a leader of the french free forces during world war ii.  \n  the committee to which monnet refers in the present letter was the french committee of national liberation, formed by the french generals giraud and charles de gaulle on 3 rd june 1943, as a provisional government of free france. the purpose of the committee was to provide united leadership and to organise and coordinate the campaign to liberate france from nazi germany. giraud and de gaulle served jointly as co-presidents of the committee, which was based in algiers, although the two men did not always see eye to eye (just as monnet and de gaulle experienced a multifaceted relationship). eventually de gaulle politically outmanoeuvred giraud, asserting complete control and leadership, and in november 1943 the committee came under the chairmanship of de gaulle. with a loss of support, giraud retired in frustration in april 1944.  \n  the liberation of france would begin with operation overlord on 6 th june 1944 (d-day)."},"estimateMax":9000,"lotNumber":"1049","title":{"es":"monnet

of lezoux.  \n  margaret of valois was a woman of letters, an enlightened mind and a generous patron. she was one of the most fashionable women of her time and influenced many other european royal courts. during her imprisonment she wrote her memoirs, the first woman to have done so.  \n  margaret´s union with the king of navarre which had been intended to contribute to the reconciliation of roman catholics and the huguenots in france, was tarnished six days after the marriage ceremony by the st. bartholomew´s day massacre.  \n  margaret´s infertility and the political tensions led to the end of her marriage. she consented a royal divorce in 1599 and lived in exile.  \n  alexandre dumas père wrote his well-known historical novel  la reine margot in 1845.   although the novel is based on real characters and events, certain aspects of  la reine margot may be inconsistent with the historical record; historians have attributed that to artistic licence and to the fact that dumas might

paris to pay homage to emperor napoleon. it was whilst in paris at this time that the duke attended a ball and met the young fourteen year old beauty pauline-adelaide alexandre panam, also known as 'la belle greque', and thus began a love affair which would soon attain notoriety. duke ernst vigorously courted madame alexandre, as she would become to be known, offering her his protection, influence, and his fortune. in april 1808 the duke returned to coburg, and madame alexandre followed her lover, who had promised that his mother would receive her into her court circle. at the command of the duke, madame alexandre travelled in male attire. not long after their arrival in coburg, madame alexandre realised that she had been fooled and to his grief the duke was forced to tell her that his mother would not accept her into her circle because she was french. nevertheless, she gave birth to ernst's son in 1809, who was named after his father despite alexandre being offered a pension if she refrained from identifying herself with the duke. madame alexandre threatened to make details of the affair and pregnancy public, as evidenced in the present letter. despite prince leopold's efforts as a mediator on behalf of his brother, in 1823 madame alexandre published her sensational memoir (in both french and english) under the title  memoirs of a young greek lady; or, madame pauline adelaide alexandre panam, versus his most serene highness the reigning prince of saxe-coburg. the memoir would later support further rumours and speculation about duke ernst's family when his legitimate youngest son, albert, married queen victoria to become her consort."},"estimateMax":500,"lotNumber":"1139","title":{"es":"leopold i:
