Description & Details

This curated auction presents a substantial and historically rich collection of autographs, manuscripts, official documents, photographs, and printed ephemera spanning from the 16th through the 20th centuries, with a strong emphasis on European?particularly Polish and French?royal, military, and political history. The sale brings together primary-source material ranging from early modern royal and noble documents to 20th-century wartime and postwar memorabilia. Highlights include autograph letters signed, sealed manuscripts, official civil and military documents, signed photographs, illustrated books, and multi-piece groupings assembled for historical context and display value. Early material reflects the administrative and dynastic history of Central and Western Europe, with documents connected to the Polish?Lithuanian Commonwealth and associated with royal and noble figures such as King Zygmunt August, Jan III Sobieski, King Stanis?aw II Augustus Poniatowski, and prominent magnate families including the Radziwi?? and Kosciuszko houses. French royal and state material from the early modern period is also represented, alongside later imperial and republican examples. The 19th and 20th century offerings include material associated with Polish military and political leaders, resistance and ?migr? figures, and European statesmen, with names such as J?zef Haller, W?adys?aw Sikorski, Lech Wa??sa, Wyszynski, and Marshal Ferdinand Foch appearing within the catalog. World War I and II content, aviation and postal history items, propaganda, and period photography further enrich the scope of the sale. The catalog encompasses a wide range of formats, including handwritten letters and documents, signed cards, photographic portraits, wartime ephemera, flight covers, etc.
