Autograph dedication by the author to Madame Bainville: ‘To Jeanne Bainville, this book which belongs to her and which, with a smile and a woman’s tears, will soften the portrait—so lucid yet on paper—of the Emperor drawn by her husband’. A very fine copy. For information, Jeanne Bainville was the wife of Jacques Bainville, a French journalist, historian and member of the Académie française, and a friend of Henry Bordeaux.
