192076019Rennes: Menzil 1920. Fine. Menzil Rennes circa 1921 14.50 x 21.80 cm Rare and unpublished childhood portrait of Colette Destouches only daughter of Louis-Ferdinand Céline born in 1920 on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from the Menzil studio. Manuscript caption ""Colette Destouches"" inscribed on recto and verso with the mention ""1920"". The portrait was taken by the Menzil house 6 rue Beaumont Rennes the city where Céline met and spent several years in the company of Édith Follet his second wife and mother of Colette. This photograph of Colette Destouches who is only a few months old is to our knowledge unpublished. Céline retained throughout his life an affection for his daughter whom he saw regularly in Rennes Geneva and Paris and who was ""surely more possessive in his way with her than he had been with any of his wives his mistresses. He had dreamed for her a glorious future of a medical career as if to strengthen their complicity"" Frédéric Vitoux La Vie de Céline coll. Folio 2005 p. 636. Menzil unknown
1948366533Copenhagen 1948. 1-1/2 pages on a single sheet. 1 vols. 4to. Fine with envelope. 1-1/2 pages on a single sheet. 1 vols. 4to. Letter from Louis Ferdinand Céline 1894-1961 author of Voyage au bout de la nuit Journey to the End of the Night and Mort à crédit Death on the Instalment Plan during his postwar limbo in Copenhagen. After the Allied landing in June 1944 Celine and his wife Lucette had fled France for Germany and later to Denmark where he was imprisoned for a year and a half. At the time he was writing this letter Céline was shunned by the French literary establishment and seeking funds. He was convicted of collaboration in 1950 but was granted amnesty in 1951. He returned to France later that year.<br /> <br /> He writes to Georges Geoffroy a Parisian jeweler whom he knew from first world war days seeking assistance with money owed to him and with copyright matters concerning Foudres et flèches a play published in 1948. He tries to tempt his friends to make "the pilgrimage to our mists and glaciers"<br /> <br /> Reading in part <br /> <br /> "Mon Vieux Frere Je tente par Daragnès et Marie Canavaggia de réunir qq fonds qu'elle ou lui te porteront à moins que tu montes toi même à Montmartre. Il s'agit d'argent que me doit un Laboratoire de Palaiseau depuis 4 ans! - et de droits d'auteur sur une petite connerie-ballet que me tire SORLOT en ce moment en luxe - une niaiserie Foudres et Flèches.

1920760211920. Fine. circa 1930 8.40 x 13.30 cm Rare photographic portrait of René Destouches uncle of Louis-Ferdinand Céline accompanied by his wife Pauline Dauteville. Vintage gelatin silver print. Inscription ""M. et Mme Destouches"" ""Mr. and Mrs. Destouches"" on verso. One small corner loss and minimal creasing. René Destouches brother of Fernand Destouches married Pauline Dauteville with whom he had two children. Céline borrowed his moonstruck character inherited from a fall from the cliffs of Sainte-Adresse ""il était tout à fait sonné. Il se marrait doucement quand on lui parlait. Il se répondait à lui-même"" ""he was completely dazed. He would laugh softly when spoken to. He would answer himself"" and the hard labor he endured throughout his life for the character of Uncle Rodolphe in Death on the Installment Plan. To darken the picture even further Céline probably lent Uncle Rodolphe elements from the life of another of his uncles Charles Destouches whose wife had disappeared tragically at the age of twenty-eight: ""Une pauvre malheureuse elle crachait déjà ses poumons. Ça a pas duré trois mois"" ""A poor unfortunate woman she was already coughing up her lungs. It didn't last three months"" Death on the Installment Plan Denoël & Steele 1936. unknown
1920760201920. Fine. circa 1930 12.50 x 17.80 cm Rare photographic portrait of René Destouches uncle of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Photographic enlargement in a probably later printing. Inscription ""René Destouches"" on the back. René Destouches remained employed all his life in various menial jobs following a serious fall from the top of the cliff at Sainte-Adresse. Céline devoted passages to him in Mort à crédit under the features of uncle Rodolphe: ""Mais le plus cloche de la famille c'était sûrement l'oncle Rodolphe il était tout à fait sonné. Il se marrait doucement quand on lui parlait. Il se répondait à lui-même. Ça durait des heures. Il voulait vivre seulement qu'à l'air. Il a jamais voulu tâter d'un seul magasin ni des bureaux même comme gardien et même de nuit. Pour croûter il préférait rester dehors sur un banc. Il se méfiait des intérieurs. Quand vraiment il avait trop faim alors il venait à la maison. Il passait le soir. C'est qu'il avait eu trop d'échecs. La ""bagotte"" son casuel des gares c'était un métier d'entraînement. Il l'a fait pendant plus de vingt ans. Il tenait la ficelle des ""Urbaines"" il a couru comme un lapin après les fiacres et les bagages aussi longtemps qu'il a pu."" ""But the most cracked in the family was surely uncle Rodolphe he was completely punch-drunk. He would laugh quietly when you spoke to him. He would answer himself. It would go on for hours. He only wanted to live in the open air. He never wanted to try a single shop or offices even as a watchman and even at night. To get by he preferred to stay outside on a bench. He was wary of interiors. When he was really too hungry then he would come to the house. He would come by in the evening. It's because he had had too many failures. The 'bagotte' his casual work at the stations it was a training job. He did it for more than twenty years. He held the string of the 'Urbaines' he ran like a rabbit after the cabs and the luggage as long as he could."" unknown
