(1812-1891) - Letter A.S. Versailles 31 Oct. 1860 - to M. de FORGES : "... my statue left the workshop on the 13th and was on its way to the founder. It was pulled by six large and heavy horses. This new image of the Commander on horseback crossed the fairground... the population and the garrison could already attend this triumphant march through our avenues... but what difficulties and fears... In memory of its great power my equestrian statue was accompanied by a carriage of continuation... carrying my two Bas-reliefs and the colossal bust of the General of MONTHION intended for a monument that his native city raises to him: Saint-Denis of the Island BOURBON..." 4pp in-8°.
