China 2nd opium war, autographed and signed letter (the contents only) by GENERAL MONTAUBAN(1796-1878), commander and chief of the China expedition and later Count of Palikao, addressed to the chamberlain of the french imperatrice (wife of Napoleon III) for an announced visit on July 30,1861. - In 1860, General Charles Cousin-Montauban, comte de Palikao was made COMMANDER OF THE FRENCH TROOPS IN THE CHINA EXPEDITION, a common enterprise with the British since 1857 (so called 2nd opium war). By September 21, 1860 the combined anglo-french troops dispersed the Chinese near the Palikao bridge. This lead to the occupation of Peking Oct. 12 and the summer palace sacking (in retaliation for torturing and murdering of british diplomates in the palace cellars) and the defeat of the Quing. His conduct of the operations did not escape criticism, but in 1862 he received from Napoleon III, the title of comte de Palikao (from the Battle of Palikao); The allegation that he had acquired a vast fortune by the plunder of the Old Summer Palace in Peking seems to have been without foundation. A rare autograph of one of the key personnalities of the 2nd opium war.
Value Add Taxes (19%) will be added to the hammer price and the buyers premium.
