189985096Brest 1899. Fine. Brest 3 Octobre 1899 11 x 17 cm 1 page et demi sur un feuillet double Autograph letter dated and signed by Victor Segalen addressed to Emile Mignard one and a half pages 24 lines written in black ink on a double sheet. Traces of transverse folds inherent to postal delivery. Trace of white paper tab. Emile Mignard 1878-1966 also a doctor from Brest was one of Segalen's closest childhood friends whom he met at the Jesuit college Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours in Brest. The writer maintained with this companion an abundant and regular correspondence in which he described with humor and intimacy his daily life in the four corners of the globe. It was at Mignard's wedding on February 15 1905 that Segalen met his wife Yvonne Hébert. It was in 1899 that Victor Segalen's first nervous disorders manifested themselves which would only worsen as he advanced in age. Worried about his already failing health his friends and relatives wanted to hear news of him which sometimes exasperated him: ""Faire comprendre à Mlle D. qu'il me serait extrêmement pénible de répondre à ses lettres qui ne pourraient être que de condoléances.autant celles d'amis comme toi me seraient apaisantes autant des consolations féminines même bien intentionnées je n'en doute pas me seraient insupportables."" Make Miss D. understand that it would be extremely painful for me to respond to her letters which could only be of condolence.while those from friends like you would be soothing to me feminine consolations even well-intentioned I have no doubt would be unbearable to me. Victor Segalen thus declares his profound intimacy with Emile Mignard with whom he had undertaken that same year a cycling tour in Brittany and to whom he confided fully. Fleeing certain relationships he desired to maintain despite his illness his privileged friendship with the latter: "". ne reviendrai qu'après un détour dont je ne prévois pas la durée. Mais j'ai le temps et le désir d'avoir de tes nouvelles."" .will only return after a detour whose duration I cannot foresee. But I have the time and desire to hear from you. Knowing his friend to be understanding and respectful of his reserve the convalescent Victor Segalen did not wish to elaborate further on the illness that was already consuming him: ""Tu sens que je ne puis en écrire plus long n'ayant en ce moment pas le choix des sujets mais tu ne m'en voudras j'en suis sûr pas."" You feel that I cannot write at greater length not having at this moment a choice of subjects but you will not hold it against me I am sure. Autograph letters by Victor Segalen are extremely rare. unknown

This deeply humanist text is a compendium of Victor Hugo's campaign for the abolition of capital punishment and the female attainment of social equality and civil rights. « Mardi 7 novembre 1871 Monsieur on m'a demandé d'urgence mon intervention pour les condamnés à mort. L'accomplissement de ce devoir a retardé ma réponse à votre excellente lettre. Vous avez raison de compter sur moi pour affirmer l'avenir de la femme. Dès 1849 dans l'Assemblée nationale je faisais éclater de rire la majorité réactionnaire en déclarant que le droit de l'homme avait pour corollaires le droit de la femme et le droit de l'enfant. En 1853 à Jersey dans l'exil j'ai fait la même déclaration sur la tombe d'une proscrite Louise Julien mais cette fois on n'a pas ri on a pleuré. Cet effort pour qu'enfin justice soit rendue à la femme je l'ai renouvelé dans les Misérables je l'ai renouvelé dans le Congrès de Lausanne et je viens de le renouveler encore dans ma lettre au Rappel que vous voulez bien me citer. J'ajoute que tout mon théâtre tend à la dignification de la femme. Mon plaidoyer pour la femme est vous le voyez ancien et persévérant et n'a pas eu de solution de continuité. L'équilibre entre le droit de l'homme et le droit de la femme est une des conditions de la stabilité sociale. Cet équilibre se fera. Vous avez donc bien fait de vous mettre sous la protection de ce mot suprême : l'Avenir. Je suis Monsieur avec ceux qui comme vous veulent le progrès rien que le progrès tout le progrès. Je vous serre la main. Victor Hugo » ""Tuesday november 7 1871 Sir I have been urgently asked to intervene on behalf of those sentenced to death. The fulfillment of this duty has delayed my reply to your excellent letter. You are right to count on me to defend the future of women. As early as 1849 in the National Assembly I made the reactionary majority burst into laughter by declaring the rights of man as natural counterparts to the rights of woman and the rights of children. In 1853 in my Jersey exile I made the same declaration on the grave of an outlaw Louise Julien but this time people didn't laugh they wept. I renewed this effort to finally do justice to women in Les Misérables I renewed it in the Congrès de Lausanne and I've just renewed it again in my letter to Le Rappel which you are kind enough to publish. I would add that every single one of my theatrical works aims to dignify women. As you can see my plea for women is long-standing and persevering and no other has ventured to continue with this endeavor. Balance between men's rights and women's rights is one of the conditions of social stability. This balance will be achieved. I commend you for placing yourself under the protection of this supreme word: the Future. I am Sir with those who like you want progress nothing but progress the whole of progress. I shake your hand. Victor H Although this letter focuses primarily on advocating for women's rights it begins with the death penalty: I have been urgently asked to intervene on behalf of those sentenced to death. The fulfillment of this duty has delayed my reply to your excellent letter. Shortly after the Paris Commune the October 1871 pages of Hugo's diary la hardcover
180800MV80Italy: None 1808. Two rare documents purple-stained partly-printed ink signed dated 1808 each headed IL PREFETTO E ASSISTENTI DELLA VENERABILE CONGREGAZIONE E COMPAGNIA DEL SANTISSIMO SACRAMENTO ERETTA NELLA PARROCCHIA DI SANT'EULALIA DEL QUARTIERE DELLA MARINA.The ink has really lightened on one of these except for the signature. The original file folder contained a very old collection of foreign autographs and documents which indicates: "Spanish War - rare watermarks - unusually good." Documents relating to the 1808 - 1814 Spanish War or the Peninsula War as is called Spain's War of Independance are very very scarce. Four bold signatures and the fact that it is dated squarely at the beginning of the conflict make for a very interesting pair of documents that require further research. . Autograph. Manuscript.

187164361Versailles 1871. Fine. Versailles s. d. 20-30 avril 1871 10.50 x 11.50 cm un feuillet Autograph letter signed by Théophile Gautier 34 lines in black ink address at foot on verso of the letter: ""Versailles avenue de St-Cloud n°3"". Folds inherent to mailing. The letter appears to be unpublished not mentioned in the Correspondance Générale de Théophile Gautier edited by Claudine Lacoste-Veysseyre under the direction of Pierre Laubriet Droz Geneva-Paris 12 vol. 1985-2000. Rare glimpse into Gautier's private life the letter captures the anguish that struck the author and his family during the Paris Commune. Separated from his family by the Prussian invasion of 1870 and the Parisian insurrections of 1871 Théophile Gautier confides the extent of his torments both financial and due to the Paris Commune to his ""dear sweetheart"" his younger daughter Estelle Gautier: ""I may yet manage to recover from this collapse . I am happy that these atrocious ordeals have been spared you. For my part I nearly lost my life and I am still not in brilliant condition"". Gautier's usual supporters are evident here through the names of academician Camille Doucet and dancer Carlotta Grisi. The virulence of the fighting between communards and repressive forces can be sensed in the evocation of Gautier's sister Emilie called ""Lili"": ""Lili is still in her cellar. Coming out is too perilous but she will be delivered within a few days. Alas! Very long ones"". Characteristic of the personal register rare in Gautier's correspondence the letter is imbued with the paternal love the author bears for his family: ""What a celebration when we are all reunited for my heart suffers greatly from this dispersion"". unknown
1840640991840. Fine. s. d. circa 1843 13.20 x 21.90 cm 4 feuillets Admirable set of four manuscript fragments of chapter XI of the Voyage d'Espagne which exposes behind the scenes of Gautier's writing which guided by the romantic taste for the picturesque relates his stays in Madrid and Ocaña and his passages by La Guardia and Tembleque . Gautier adopts an astonishing working format revealing the intimate / particular process of writing where flying sheets of different sizes very tight writing and corrections and inks of different colors come together. Originally intended for a publication in the press Gautier's article itself seduced by Spanish exoticism satisfies the search for picturesque then at its peak in France: "" The perpetual carousel of the fans that open close throb and flap like butterflies trying to land; the elbow movements of the women grouping themselves in their mantillas and correcting the inflection of an unsightly fold; the glances launched from one cross to the other to the people of knowledge; the pretty nod of the head and the graceful gesture which accompanies the agur by which the senhoras reply to the horsemen who salute them; the colorful crowd intertwined with Gallegos Pasiegas Valencians Manolas and water vendors "" Gautier establishes links between known references to Spain: Don Quixote and finds picaresque resonances in the adventures he saw: They were men Beyond the simple satisfaction of the public Gautier offers a glimpse of the Spanish character and bon vivant: sobriety and the patience of the Spaniards to endure fatigue is something that is prodigious. They remained Arabs on this point. One can not go further than the oblivion of material life. But these soldiers who lacked bread and shoes had a guitar. unknown

You will see someone from the woods somewhere between the wild boar and the nightingale he had warned playfully in announcing his visit. Painter and poet ended the day dining on the rue du Bac where the all-too-ephemeral Trixie was now absent. In the half-light after dinner Whistler near a lamp seemed to resurrect in appearance the extraordinary Poe. Doubtless he then repeated to Mallarmé his intention of painting him. The next day without waiting for the Monet exhibition soon to be held at Georges Petit the Mallarmés went on to Valvins. Jean-Luc Steinmetz Stéphane Mallarmé This was most likely the execution of another portrait of Mallarmé of which no trace remains Whistler having already produced one that served as the frontispiece to Vers et Prose in 1893.
