Czar of Russia (born 1796) who reigned from 1825 until his death in 1855. By crushing the Decembrist Uprising, he confirmed the autocracy of czarist rule, but disastrous losses in the Crimean War marked the collapse of his foreign and domestic policies. Unsigned handwritten letter in pencil by Nicholas I, one page, 3.75 x 4.75, no date. Untranslated letter in Russian requesting assistance. In fine condition, with an unobtrusive light residue over the lines to prevent pencil smudging.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
