Queen Alexandra
Autograph letters signed 'Alexandra' to 'Leila' [Evelyn, Countess Blucher], together with envelopes, addressed to 'Countess Blucher' at various London addresses, one with black wax seal showing Alexandra's arms (with the Wild Man supporter from the Danish arms), various dates 1909-1915, mounted, framed and glazed.
Evelyn, Countess Blucher married Gebhard Bl�cher von Wahlstatt, the fourth F�rst Bl�cher, in 1907. She spent the war years in Germany and her book about her experiences became a minor classic for its view inside the Prussian nobility of the era. Alexandra's short notes are affectionate and full of sorrow for the sufferings of the 'terrible and cruel war'. Alexandra must have had some time for enjoyment though as a MSS note on one envelope, presumably by the Countess, notes she saw 'Queen A...wearing my roses in her hat! Sweet of her.'
