Interessante Biographie der unglücklichen Caroline von Braunschweig (1768-1821), Gattin des Prince of Wales und späterens englischen Königs George IV. Kurz nach der Heirat 1795 und Geburt einer Tochter wurde sie verstossen und lebte bis zu ihrem Tode fern des Königshofes. Schon ab 1806 kursierten Gerüchte über diverse Liebschaften, verschiedene gerichtliche Untersuchungen konnten ihr allerdings keine Schuld beweisen. Der Italiener Pergami, der als Kurier in ihren Diensten stand und durch Caroline zum Baron erhoben, wurde ebenfalls als einer ihrer Liebhaber verdächtigt. - Gering berieben. Wenige Blätter an der unteren weißen Ecke wurmstichig.
