METTERNICH-SANDOR, Pauline de, Princess (1836–1921). Autograph letter signed “Pauline,” Hinterbrühl, 25 [n.d.], 3 pp., in-16 format, on paper bearing her crowned monogram, watercolored and gilded. A charming autograph note from the famous Princess Pauline de Metternich, a leading figure in the European salons of the Second Empire and Imperial Vienna. In it, she discusses a recommendation, books, a professor from Lille, and a certain Mr. Joly, in a lively, informal, and sophisticated style. The letter attests to her intellectual networks and her role as an intermediary in literary and aristocratic circles. The paper, adorned with her crowned princely monogram, enhances the appeal of this item. Good overall condition. Central crease, slight ink show-through, fresh paper.
