I bought this from auction in New Jersey from a descendent of the Princess. Very interesting past which you can read on Wikipedia. Below is a small excerpt: Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Beatrice Leopoldine Victoria; 20 April 1884 – 13 July 1966) was a member of the British Royal Family , a granddaughter of Queen Victoria . She later married into the Spanish Royal Family , and was the wife of Alfonso de Orleans y Borbón , Infante of Spain. She was called "Baby Bee" by her family. There is also an inscription to Beatrice written in pen: To H.R.H. Princess Beatrice ??? Coburg ??? (not sure if full title of Sax Coburg and Gotha) with signature that looks like ???? Newberrys. Kind regards, 27th December 1906 I am not a book expert so will do my best to describe. Corners are in nice condition Leather is frayed
