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
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

Reullinger Paris circa 1920 - diamètre 11 cm Rare and unpublished tondo portrait of Edith Follet Louis-Ferdinand Céline's second wife whom he married in 1919 on albumen paper mounted on Reullinger studio cardboard. The photograph has a repaired marginal tear and manuscript captions ""Édith Follet"" ""1920"" inscribed on the verso. This very elegant portrait of the illustrator Edith Follet unpublished to our knowledge dates from the early 1920s and puts a face to the ""graceful brunette of cold distinction"" who illustrated Céline's medical thesis often considered his very first book foreshadowing Voyage au bout de la nuit. Céline met Édith Follet in 1918 through the young woman's father the highly respected Rennes doctor Athanase Follet. En route to his first awareness tours against tuberculosis within the Rockefeller mission Céline dined at the doctor's home in the company of his charming daughter: ""Il avait des yeux extraordinaires d'un bleu qui changeait selon ses sentiments. Quand il était contrarié son regard s'éclaircissait. Ce grand garçon d'un mètre quatre-vingts me donnait l'impression d'être un homme"" ""He had extraordinary eyes of a blue that changed according to his feelings. When he was upset his gaze would lighten. This tall young man of six feet gave me the impression of being a man"" she confided sixty-eight years later. After his baccalaureate and months of chaste tête-à-têtes with the young woman five years his junior Louis Destouches married Édith Follet on August 10 1919 in Quintin. Reullinger unknown

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
