Graveur imprimeur à Paris Stern Graveur atelier spécialisé dans la gravure de papier à lettre invitations faire-part monogrammes chevalières armoriées cartes de voeux.La Maison Stern et Aumoitte a été fondée en 1836 par Monsieur Aumoitte qui s'associe à un jeune graveur Moïse Stern. Cette association dure jusqu'à la fin des années 1850 puis Moïse Stern reprend la Maison. L'ex-libris de la Maison Stern devient un grand « S » dans lequel se loge un lion dressé la patte antérieure reposant sur le monogramme « MS » entrelacé. Une main brandissant un outil de graveur et deux pièces d'armure un gant et le casque complètent la composition. En 1867 et en 1889 la Maison Stern se voit décerner la Médaille d'Or lors de ces deux expositions universelles. Par la suite Moïse Stern sera occasionnellement membre du jury qui décerne cette médaille. Dans les années 1890 M.Stern associe son fils René à l'entreprise qui prend le nom de Stern et fils. René Stern reprend la boutique à son compte en 1904. Parmi ses prestigieux clients la Maison Stern a eu l'honneur de compter l'Elysée pour ses menus et ses invitations les ambassades la noblesse et les grandes entreprises françaises et étrangères.

190186408s. l. 1901. Fine. I never stopped saying those who denigrate Mozart do not understand music s. l. 6 Février 1901 11.50 x 17.50 cm quatre pages sur un feuillet et une enveloppe Autograph letter signed by Camille Saint-Saëns to the essayist musicologist and music critic Adolphe Boschot. 43 lines written in black ink on a double leaf edged in black. Transverse fold inherent to the mailing with slight tears to the ends envelope enclosed in Saint-Saëns's hand to Boschot's address at 71 rue de Grenelle. Note in pencil from a previous bibliographer on the back of the envelope. Saint-Saëns wrote this wonderful demonstration of reverence for the Salzburg composer in 1901. That same year his friend Boschot the recipient of this letter was playing Mozart's chamber music at his home at 71 rue de Grenelle. The composer apologized for his absence: ""It's not my fault that in spite of my objurgations the earth refuses to stop in its course around the sun; for the 65th time I am witnessing this gyratory movement and the public performance of pieces of music on the piano is no longer my prerogative. Besides your sessions finish before the end of March and I won't be back until April 1st so I won't even be able to attend"". In his youth it was precisely as an interpreter of the divine artist that the prodigy Saint-Saëns had earned the nickname ""little Mozart"". In the letter he congratulates Boschot the author of a study entitled ""La Lumière de Mozart"" for his defense of the composer whom he himself had supported against the advice of the majority: ""Believe me I regret it and I'll be very happy to see that someone is taking care of getting the public to follow Mozart's path again. Thirty years ago the advanced party wanted to declare war on him so I defended him and never stopped saying those who denigrate Mozart don not understand music. Allow me to recommend his little-known motets with orchestra including the famous Ave Verum."" He ends the letter with a fine analysis of the composer's style: May we learn from listening to Mozart that there is more to music than sensations and nervous vibrations and that delicate artistry and purity of form are things not to be scorned. An exceptional expression of admiration and respect from one musical genius to another. unknown

Bornier qui m'avait proposé lui meme de vous parler de mon protégé et je pensais naturellement qu'il l'avait fait. Il s'agit de M. Ferdinand Nayrac que j'ai connu au Caire."
