The correspondence involves a collection of classic Swedish covers from the Skilling Banco and Vapen periods, as well as a number of stampless pre-philatelic letters, all written by Crown Princess and later Queen Louise of Sweden and Norway, and sent to her governess Victoire Wauthier in The Hague.
