Description from the seller

French and European nobility.
Princess Ursel of Croÿ and Countess d’Haussonville née de Broglie – Signed autographs – 1891-1922
Set of ancient aristocratic correspondences, including two lots of manuscript documents attributed to representatives of great French and European noble families, the Princess Ursel of Croÿ and the Countess d’Haussonville, née de Broglie.
1] Princess Ursel of Croÿ – Signed autograph letter – 20th century
Manuscript letter in French, written in blue ink on two pages and signed “Ursel Princess of Croÿ.”
The House of Croÿ is one of the ancient princely families of European nobility, historically established in France, Belgium and the former Netherlands.
In this private correspondence, the princess thanks her recipient for informing her of news of an “august patient.” She expresses her worry, then her relief at the announcement of an improvement in the patient’s health.
Document accompanied by its old collection sheet identifying Princess Ursel of Croÿ.
Undated letter, attributed to the 20th century.
2] Countess d’Haussonville, née de Broglie. Signed autograph correspondence – 1891-1922
Set of manuscript documents attributed to Countess d’Haussonville, née de Broglie, bringing together two great lineages of the French aristocracy.
The House of Broglie distinguished itself in French political, military and diplomatic history, notably with several Marshals of France and statesmen. The d’Haussonville family also counts diplomats, parliamentarians and writers.
The collection includes private correspondence, a handwritten card dated June 26, 1891, as well as an old stamped envelope addressed to Mademoiselle Antoinette Breguet, 12 rue Paul-Baudry, Paris.
An old collection sheet identifies the Countess d’Haussonville, née de Broglie, and mentions Paris, 1922, as well as several signed autograph letters.
The texts evoke personal relationships, family news and exchanges of courtesy characteristic of aristocratic circles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Old documents showing folded correspondence, some signs of handling and light time marks. Manuscript writings preserved and overall legible.
A collection of private correspondences associated with three great houses of European nobility, Croÿ, Broglie and d’Haussonville.
An interesting set for autograph, historical document, aristocratic genealogy and old correspondence collectors.
The attributions rest notably on the signatures and the old collection sheets. The dates 1891 and 1922 concern the corresponding pieces or annotations and do not constitute a definite dating of all documents.
