Augustin de Iturbide Series
Collection-level Scope and Content Note
The Agustin de Iturbide Collection consists of financial and military documents, printed ephemera, correspondence and an oil portrait. The materials are arranged in 23 folders held in one box, except for the oil portrait, which is hanging on the walls of a Special Collections office. The first seven items of the collection describe the military career, acsension to the throne, and some official proclamations of Agustin de Iturbide. Many of the remaining items deal with the grandson of Iturbide, Agustin Cosme, and his sister, Savina, and their relationship with Maximillian and their financial and social stations in Mexico, Paris and Philadelphia. Items of particular note are a signed proclamation by Iturbide, a signed letter from Maximillian, and a signed letter from Agustin Cosme to Savina discussing Maximillian, Napoleon III, and the Iturbide family.
