Autograph Signature, "AE", on franked envelope bearing royal seal.

King (1841-1910) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the British dominions beyond the seas, and emperor of India. The dimensions of the envelope are roughly 5 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Rather grubby and with damage to the flap, which is attached to a larger piece of paper. Carries a stamped one penny Inland Revenue stamp. Reads 'General The Rt. Honble. | Sir Henry Ponsonby K.C.B. | &c &c | Buckingham Palace | London | S.W. | A E', with the 'A E' (standing for 'Albert Edward', Edward VII's name before accession) between two lines. The seal, of the lion and unicorn holding the royal crest, is somewhat smudged. The damage to the flap, which has 'Harewood Lodge' printed on it in blue ink, and part of which remains beneath the seal, has occurred in opening the envelope.
