HANSI (Jean-Jacques Waltz dit, Colmar 1873-1951, Famous Alsa - Lot 258
HANSI (Jean-Jacques Waltz dit, Colmar 1873-1951, Famous Alsatian illustrator) / Autograph letter signed, 1 p in-4, March 26 [1930s]: His correspondent invites him to the "Yvette Guilbert luncheon" and he is obliged to decline this proposal, "When our friend Vily [this is the writer and former husband of Colette Willy! written phonetically in Alsatian] had told me about it, I hoped to have finished a very urgent work that I have in progress. Unfortunately this is not the case; being very much on the heels of my client, I cannot afford the luxury of such a pleasant waste of time" [It was Jules Lévy, presumably the recipient of this letter, the famous founder of the "Hydropathes", who organized this monthly lunch (every second Saturday of the month) at the Rotonde in honor of and under the presidency of the Belle-Epoque singer Yvette Guilbert, the writer Willy was always present].
