STATUE of Honoré de BALZAC. Autograph letter signed by the W - Lot 465
STATUE of Honoré de BALZAC. Autograph letter signed by the Writer Henri ESCOFFIER, Chief Editor of the PETIT JOURNAL (Sérignan 1837 - 1891), Paris 1888, to a colleague, about the Subscription to raise a statue to BALZAC and its financing : "I thank you for having reminded me by personal letter, and not by circular, that the list of subscription to the Statue of BALZAC is going to be closed... The Society, by opening a subscription to raise a statue to BALZAC, has done both a work of literary justice and reparation; it has also done a social work. It would have been necessary, in my opinion, that the general assembly voted the abandonment of an optional quota of the reproduction rights... In the state of things, it is a matter of glory..."
