    1633 (Nov 12): Entire letter showing the great circular seal (85mm. diameter) of King Wladislaw IV of Poland, a superb embossed example displaying well on letter written to "Dna. Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta Hispaniarum Austria, Duce Burgundia Brabantia Luxemburgi Geloria Comiti Tyrolis..." with full date and signature of "Wladislaus Rex" at base. Isabella died on December 1, 1633 in Brussels just three weeks after this letter was written and it is possible that the letter remained unread. A rare and appealing document.
