Bibelot is a late nineteenth century word derived from the French word bel ‘beautiful’, meaning a small item of beauty, curiosity or interest. The word ephemera is derived from the sixteenth century Greek word ephmera meaning a printed or hand written paper not meant to be retained for a long period of time.
The letter is dated simply 'Saturday' but circa 1940s and addressed to her son Prince Alexander (1929-2002), discussing family affairs and obtaining a loan in order to allow him to travel. There is a translation in the final image.
