A passport to Britain signed by Napoleon Bonaparte – Emperor of France document signed ‘N’ with a flourish, dated March 1812, being a passport for a 13 year old girl named Louise Nouzel from Lisbon, giving her permission to travel to travel to Britain via either Ostend or Dunkirk. Partially printed document on a single leaf of vellum approx 15x10 ins, with ms insertions, including a description of the girl with her details (including her height of just over five feet). Countersigned by the Duc de Servigo, Minister of Police. Original folds and very slight dusting to edges but otherwise good and with a fine bold signature of Napoleon. It is remarkable to say the least that at the height of his wars with Britain, Napoleon would be signing a passport such as this.
