German fashion designer and photographer (born 1933). ALS in French, one page both sides, 8.25 x 11.5, personal monogrammed letterhead, February 12, 1990. Letter to a French writer expressing his interest in and admiration for a book about Versailles and Louis XV's daughters, known as Mesdames de France. In full (translated): "I only wanted to congratulate you for your book about Mesdames de France. It is marvelously researched and brilliantly written. A lot of books on historical matters do not have both qualities. According to Pierre Lemoine, Madame Adelaide [Louis XV's daughter] has had 13 different rooms in Versailles along her life. I have bought many copies of your book in order to offer them to my relatives because this book is really exciting. With all my congratulations." In fine condition. A desirable example embodying Lagerfeld's passion for 18th-century France.
