190076037Paris: A. Lauga 1900. Fine. A. Lauga Paris s. d. ca 1900 14.20 x 10.50 cm une photographie Photographic portrait of Charles Destouches uncle of Louis-Ferdinand Céline pictured with his wife and their young daughter Charlotte DestouchesCélines cousin known as Lolotteon albumen paper mounted on a card from the Parisian studio A. Lauga. Small loss to lower right corner. Some glue residue along the edges. Handwritten caption on verso. The bohemian life of Uncle Charles Destouches inspired the character of Uncle Arthur in Death on Credit: Il a vécu en vrai bohème en marge de la société dans une soupente en cheville avec une bonniche. Elle travaillait au restaurant devant l'École Militaire. Grâce à ça il faut en convenir il arrivait à bien bouffer. Arthur c'était un luron avec barbiche velours grimpant tatanes en pointe pipe effilée. Il s'en faisait pas. Il donnait fort dans la 'conquête'. But the tragic true story of the death of his wife Joséphinealso shown in the photographclaimed by cholera despite the care of Dr. Proust Marcels brother reappears in the character of Uncle Rodolphe. By blending the lives of two of his uncles Céline gives Rodolphe the simple-mindedness of René and the grief of Charles Destouches who loses his mind after the death of his tubercular wife: Elle est morte dans sa chambre même au 'Rendez-vous'. Il voulait pas qu'on l'emmène. Il avait bouclé sa lourde. Il revenait chaque soir coucher à côté. C'est à l'infection qu'on s'est aperçu. Il est devenu alors furieux. Il comprenait pas que les choses périssent. C'est de force qu'on l'a enterrée. Il voulait la porter lui-même sur 'un crochet' jusqu'à Pantin. . 'Bonjour ! qu'il me faisait. Bonjour mon petit fi !. Tu la vois hein ma Rosine'.' Il me désignait plus loin que la Seine toute la plaine. un point dans la brume. 'Tu la vois' Je lui disait 'Oui'. Je le contrariais pas. A. Lauga unknown
190075323Paris: A. Emile 1900. Fine. A. Emile Paris s. d. ca 1900 6 x 17.20 cm une photographie au format carte de visite Rare period photograph of Fernand Destouches 1865-1932 father of Louis-Ferdinand Céline carte-de-visite format albumen print mounted on card from studio A. Émile. Two small adhesive marks to lower margin of the print also showing two tiny lacks to upper corners. Manuscript caption on verso. One of the principal protagonists of Death on the Installment Plan the petit-bourgeois Fernand Destouches from Le Havre is transformed by his son into a formidable belching and irascible character: « Mon père Auguste il tripotait sacrait jurait déglinguait chaque fois la douille et le manchon. C'était un gros blond mon père furieux pour des riens avec un nez comme un bébé tout rond au-dessus de moustaches énormes. Il roulait des yeux féroces quand la colère lui montait. Il se souvenait que des contrariétés. Il en avait eu des centaines. Au bureau des Assurances il gagnait cent dix francs par mois. » ""My father Auguste he fiddled swore cursed broke the socket and sleeve every time. He was a big blond my father furious over nothing with a nose like a baby's all round above enormous mustaches. He rolled fierce eyes when anger rose in him. He only remembered annoyances. He'd had hundreds of them. At the Insurance office he earned a hundred and ten francs a month."" Death on the Installment Plan Denoël & Steele 1936 Throughout his life Céline maintained an atmosphere of fictional romance around his father's life and claimed that he held a baccalaureate and a degree in letters. The family's financial failures as well as his father's aborted ambitions amplified by Céline into sordid proletarian dramas served as the cornerstone for Death on the Installment Plan which he forbade his mother to read. Of utmost rarity. A. Emile unknown
190075325Paris: J. Couturier 1900. Fine. J. Couturier Paris s. d. ca 1900 10.30 x 15.50 cm une photographie au format carte cabinet Photographic portrait of Hermance Delhaye Destouches 1830-1869 paternal grandmother of Louis-Ferdinand Céline in cabinet card format on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from J. Couturier studio. Cardboard slightly trimmed at lower margin. Handwritten caption on verso. A bourgeoise of Flemish origin Céline's grandmother married Auguste Destouches in 1860 and had five children. Upon the premature death of her husband in 1874 at the age of thirty-nine the provincial Hermance tried her luck in Paris with Amélie Céline's aunt where she squandered her fortune and ended up being kept thanks to her daughter's demi-mondaine lifestyle. In Mort à crédit Céline borrows her second name Caroline for the character of the grandmother who runs the antique shop on rue Montorgueil. This aspect of the character however relates to the shopkeeper life of his maternal grandmother Céline Guillou whose first name served as the writer's pen name. J. Couturier unknown
187776022Bucarest Bucharest: Studio Louis 1877. Fine. Studio Louis Bucarest Bucharest 14 juin 1877 6.70 x 10 cm Rare photographic portrait of Amélie Destouches aunt of Louis-Ferdinand Céline in cabinet card format on albumen print mounted on cardboard from Studio Louis. Manuscript captions ""Suzannica 3 ans Bucarest ce 14 juin 1877"" ""Suzannica 3 years old Bucharest this 14th June 1877"" and ""Zenon Zawirski"" in another hand on verso. The portrait was taken by Studio Louis at 127 Calea Mosilor in Bucharest. At twenty-four Amélie married the wealthy Romanian Zenon Zawirski who poses beside her with their daughter Zenone Zawirska then three years old. Céline devoted an unflattering portrait to her in Death on the Installment Plan borrowing her features for the character of Aunt Hélène whose Slavic adventures he transposed to Russia rather than Romania. Though still alive when the novel was written Céline nonetheless had his character die in dishonor and shame: ""Elle a pris tout le vent dans les voiles. Elle a bourlingué en Russie. À Saint-Pétersbourg elle est devenue grue. À un moment elle a eu tout carrosse trois traîneaux un village rien que pour elle avec son nom dessus. Elle est venue nous voir au Passage deux fois de suite frusquée superbe comme une princesse et heureuse et tout. Elle a terminé très tragiquement sous les balles d'un officier. Y avait pas de résistance chez elle. C'était tout viande désir musique. Il rendait papa rien que d'y penser. Ma mère a conclu en apprenant son décès : 'Voilà une fin bien horrible ! Mais c'est la fin d'une égoïste !'"" ""She caught all the wind in her sails. She knocked around Russia. In St. Petersburg she became a whore. At one point she had everything carriage three sleighs a village all to herself with her name on it. She came to see us at the Passage twice in a row dressed up superb like a princess and happy and all. She ended very tragically under an officer's bullets. There was no resistance in her. She was all flesh desire music. It made papa sick just thinking about it. My mother concluded on learning of her death: 'What a horrible end! But it's the end of a selfish woman!'""

187576004Paris 1875. Fine. Paris circa 1875 13.20 x 21.80 cm une photographie Original photograph mounted on rigid cardboard showing Fernand Destouches father of writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline top right posing alongside his brothers René Georges and Charles - from top to bottom and left to right. Edges of the rigid cardboard slightly bumped. This portrait of the four Destouches brothers in uniform with laurel collar dates from their happy schoolboy years at the Le Havre lyceum. The photograph a true incarnation of a carefree and bygone past must undoubtedly have held importance in the eyes of the four brothers who would reproduce as adults the exact pose of this childhood portrait for a second family portrait preserved in the collection of François Gibault Anton Sonia « Louis-Ferdinand Céline d'un Havre à l'autre : entre autofiction transposition et imaginaire » Le Territoire littéraire du Havre dans la première moitié du XXè siècle 2013 fig. 20 photograph taken around 1905. Our photograph is reproduced on page 11 of the Album Céline Gallimard 1977. Born in 1865 in that same city Fernand Destouches who became a quartermaster then sad insurance clerk retained a passion for the sea and its vessels. He occupies a choice place in his son's second novel Mort à crédit in which Céline further darkens the aborted aspirations and impossible character of his father for the character of Auguste Ferdinand's father : « Mon père il était pas commode. Une fois sorti de son bureau il mettait plus que des casquettes des maritimes. Ç'avait été toujours son rêve d'être capitaine au long cours. Ça le rendait bien aigri comme rêve. . C'était un gros blond mon père furieux pour des riens avec un nez comme un bébé tout rond au-dessus de moustaches énormes. Il roulait des yeux féroces quand la colère lui montait. Il se souvenait que des contrariétés. Il en avait eu des centaines. Au bureau des Assurances il gagnait cent dix francs par mois. En fait d'aller dans la marine il avait tiré au sort sept années dans l'artillerie. Il aurait voulu être fort confortable et respecté. Au bureau de la Coccinelle ils le traitaient comme de la pane. L'amour-propre le torturait et puis la monotonie. Il n'avait pour lui qu'un bachot ses moustaches et ses scrupules. Avec ma naissance en plus on s'enfonçait dans la mistoufle ». ""My father wasn't easy-going. Once out of his office he'd wear nothing but caps naval ones. It had always been his dream to be a ship's captain. It made him quite bitter as dreams go. . He was a big blond man my father furious over nothing with a nose like a baby's all round above enormous mustaches. He'd roll fierce eyes when anger rose in him. He only remembered annoyances. He'd had hundreds of them. At the Insurance office he earned a hundred and ten francs a month. Instead of going into the navy he'd drawn seven years in the artillery by lot. He would have liked to be strong comfortable and respected. At the Coccinelle office they treated him like dirt. Pride tortured him and then the monotony. All he had for himself was a high school diploma his mustaches and his scruples. With my birth on top of it we were sinking into poverty"" Mort à crédit Paris Gallimard coll. Folio 1952 p. 53 His three uncles appearing in the photograph - René Georges and Charles - are immortalized and deliciously mistreated in Mort à crédit : Rodolphe René Destouches « 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"" unknown
190075327Paris: J. Couturier 1900. Fine. J. Couturier Paris s. d. ca 1900 10.30 x 15.50 cm une photographie au format carte cabinet Photographic portrait of Auguste Destouches paternal grandfather of Louis-Ferdinand Céline after a painting of the period in cabinet card format on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from J. Couturier studio. Cardboard slightly trimmed at lower margin. Handwritten caption on verso. The literature professor from Le Havre is among the recurring characters in Céline's works; this model whose career as an agrégé long resonated with the aspiring writer is powerfully evoked in the preface to Guignol's band 1944: « Faut que je vous avoue mon grand-père Auguste Destouches par son nom qu'en faisait lui de la rhétorique qu'était même professeur pour ça au lycée du Havre et brillant vers 1855. C'est dire que je me méfie atroce ! Si j'ai l'inclination innée ! Je possède tous ses écrits de grand-père ses liasses ses brouillons des pleins tiroirs ! Ah ! redoutables ! Il faisait les discours du Préfet je vous assure dans un sacré style ! Si il l'avait l'adjectif sûr ! s'il la piquait bien la fleurette ! Jamais un faux pas ! Mousse et pampre ! Fils des Gracques ! la Sentence et tout ! En vers comme en prose ! Il remportait toutes les médailles de l'Académie Française. Je les conserve avec émotion. C'est mon ancêtre ! Si je la connais un peu la langue et pas d'hier comme tant et tant ! Je le dis tout de suite ! dans les finesses ! J'ai débourré tous mes ""effets"" mes ""litotes"" et mes ""pertinences"" dedans mes couches. Ah ! j'en veux plus ! je m'en ferais crever ! Mon grand-père Auguste est d'avis. Il me le dit de là-haut il me l'insuffle du ciel au fond. ""Enfant pas de phrases !."" » ""I must confess to you about my grandfather Auguste Destouches by name who practiced rhetoric who was even a professor for that at the Le Havre lycée and brilliant around 1855. That's to say I'm terribly wary! If I have the innate inclination! I possess all my grandfather's writings his bundles his drafts whole drawers full! Ah! formidable! He wrote the Prefect's speeches I assure you in a hell of a style! How sure he was with his adjectives! how well he turned a phrase! Never a false step! Moss and vine! Sons of the Gracchi! the Sentence and all! In verse as in prose! He won all the medals of the French Academy. I keep them with emotion. He's my ancestor! If I know the language a bit and not since yesterday like so many others! I say so right away! in the subtleties! I've purged all my 'effects' my 'litotes' and my 'pertinences' in my diapers. Ah! I want no more of it! It would kill me! My grandfather Auguste agrees. He tells me so from above he breathes it into me from heaven deep down. 'Child no phrases!.'"" Guignol's band Denoël 1944 J.
