189486567Paris: S. n. 1894. Fine. S. n. Paris s. d. ca 1894 11 x 17.50 cm une page Autograph letter signed by Octave Mirbeau addressed to the great criminal defense attorney Edgar Demange who is not named explicitly 12 lines in violet ink. Fold traces inherent to postal handling. Octave Mirbeau thanks Maître Demange warmly and enthusiastically for having so brilliantly defended his anarchist comrade Félix Fénéon: "" Je n'ai pas l'honneur d'être connu de vous et je ne sais ce que vous pensez de moi mais je ne puis m'empêcher de vous remercier pour l'admirable plaidoirie que vous avez prononcée pour Félix Fénéon que j'aime de tout mon esprit et de tour mon coeur "" ""I do not have the honor of being known to you and I do not know what you think of me but I cannot help thanking you for the admirable plea you delivered for Félix Fénéon whom I love with all my mind and all my heart"". In 1894 the wavering Third Republic weakened by anarchist attacks including that of Auguste Vaillant at the Chamber of Deputies on December 9 1893 launched its campaign of repression and arrests against the anarchists with as its climax the illustrious Trial of the Thirty. The trial opened on August 6 1894 and among the 30 defendants were Paul Reclus Sébastien Faure Jean Grave and Félix Fénéon. Stéphane Mallarmé came to testify in favor of the latter before Maître Edgar Demange defended the famous art collector journalist creator of literary reviews Félix Fénéon. This trial ended with the acquittal of almost all the defendants and Maître Edgar Demange would continue his great career as a lawyer by notably taking the defense of Captain Alfred Dreyfus.

1902613441902. Fine. 1902 18.10 x 22.90 cm 2 feuillets et un quart Autograph manuscript signed by Octave Mirbeau 99 lines in black ink on 3 leaves with manuscript corrections by the author and one correction in blue pencil by a typographer. Manuscript used for the composition and printing of the article ""Habitudes"" published on April 20 1902 in the Journal a daily newspaper launched in 1892 by Fernand Xau. The beginning of Mirbeau's career was essentially driven by journalism which allowed him to publish and earn a living despite his lack of inclination for the activity. Quickly feared for his pamphleteering activity Gustave Mirbeau distilling a biting irony stands here against injustice institutionalized by the State and society. Led by the dense and effective writing of Gustave Mirbeau this manuscript is probably a final draft as suggested by the conformity of the two texts and the rare corrections made to the original notably by the blue pencil of a typographer. On the verso of the last leaf is found an earlier version of the first lines of the article. unknown
