BONAPARTE, NAPOLEON
(1769 - 1821) The "Little Corporal" whose brilliance in the field of battle and as Emperor of France has made him perhaps the most important figure of post-Renaissance Europe. Partly-printed D.S. "Np" 1p. legal folio, Paris, March 20, 1811, a report from the Minister of War, the DUC OF FELTRE, in part: "…The Court of Bavaria asks through the intermediary of the Minister of the Exterior that three Frenchmen employed in the Bavarian Army may continue this service there, although called in their departments as conscripts of 1811…". Boldly approved by Napoleon in the left margin with his typical, large initials and countersigned at bottom by the Duc of Feltre. Fine.
