Three items: an ALS signed “Victoria R,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, September 4, 1843, addressed to Lady Palmerston, sending condolences on the death of her daughter-in-law, in part: “I have heard with horror on Saturday the news of the death of your lovely and amiable daughter-in-law Mrs. William Cowper. At first I did not, could not believe it but alas! There is no doubt of this dreadful event. It is needless to say what both the Prince & I feel for your bereaved son, whose grief must be heart rending”; an uncommon 5 x 2 floral swatch of Queen Victoria’s coronation robe, brocaded in silver and pink, affixed to a slightly larger sheet; and a partly-printed DS, signed “Victoria R,” one page, 15.75 x 11.75, April 1, 1849. Queen Victoria appoints Edward Trevor “to be a Captain in Our Royal Regiment of Artillery.” Signed in the upper left by Queen Victoria. The embossed blue paper seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. In overall very good condition, with numerous tape repairs to letter. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
