Agustín de Iturbide was the first emperor of Mexico. Some handwritten transcripts of imprints and correspondence related to Iturbide's reign as emperor. Included are letters from Antonio Lopéz de Santa Anna (1795-1876) to Iturbide regarding the Plan de Iguala and Tratados de Córdoba and the elections of deputies of the Cortes; copies of letters from John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), U.S. Secretary of State, to Jóse Manuel de Herrera (1776?-1831), Minister of Foreign Relations of Mexico, concerning diplomatic relations; period copies of official notes between Simon Bolivar and Iturbide signed by Bolivar; and explanation to Lord Thomas Cochran Dundonald (1775-1860), 1824, relating Iturbide's decision to return to Mexico where he was then executed. Also included are two lithographs of Iturbide as emperor, ca. 1822-1823 by Hesiquio Iriarte and Decaen. The Decaen lithograph appears to be autographed by Iturbide.
