Only Mexican editione. Maximilian's memoirs were first published in Vienna in 1862, in a limited edition of only 50 copies for the Archduke himself and the members of the Austrian Imperial family. After Maximilian's tragic death in Querétaro on 19 June 1867, a revised and enlarged edition was published under the title "Aus meinem Leben. Reiseskizzen, Aphorismen, Gedichte" (Leipzig, 1867). The present edition in Spanish also contains the preface to the French edition by Jules Gaillard, published in 1868.
Binding a little rubbed, but well preserved altogether.
