Empress of France, born Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de La Pagerie (1763–1814). Married Napoleon in 1796 and divorced in 1810, unable to produce an heir. LS in French, signed “Josephine,” one page, 6.25 x 7.5, July 8, 1811. Letter to Baron D’Sterno authorizing Monsieur Bonplan to deliver to Baron D’Esterno, Chamberlain of the Emperor’s mother, “one ram and two ewes from my flock of Merinos.” Upper portion of page bears an integral address leaf in an unknown hand. In good to very good condition, with uniform toning, scattered light spotting, small hole to center of page, light pencil remnants along bottom, and a bit of mild foxing. The text and signature is mostly unaffected by any of the flaws. A desirable and boldly signed offering from one of history’s most intriguing women.
