the national museums, will kindly confirm the assurance you have given me´ ). together with gustave larroumet (1852-1903) french art historian, literary critic and administrator who served as director

formalise your offer´ ) and continues ´j´ai l´honneur de vous faire savoir, monsieur, que la proposition que vous vous êtes chargé de me transmettre doit donner lieu à un acte notarié dont vous

relating to one of the most famous and iconic paintings in the history of impressionist art. some very light, minor foxing and age wear, otherwise vg, 2 \n manet´s olympia (1863) was first exhibited at the 1865 paris salon where it immediately caused controversy. the subject of the painting, olympia, is a white prostitute, seen reclining in a full-length naked pose on her bed, while being attended to by her black maid. olympia´s confrontational gaze towards the viewer sparked shock amongst the public in 1865, however the painting later became appreciated as one of manet´s masterpieces. this was certainly the opinion of monet, who played the greatest part in the campaign intended to have olympia purchased through subscription and then to have it accepted by the french government for display in the louvre. monet´s campaign commenced in 1889 and by february 1890 the artist had raised around 20,000 francs for the acquisition of the painting. however, french law prevented the louvre from exhibiting works until their creators were ten years deceased (manet died in 1883) and therefore olympia was first kept in the musée du luxembourg. it finally entered the louvre in 1907, fulfilling monet´s wishes."},"estimateMax":350,"lotNumber":"839","title":{"es":"[monet claude]: (1840-1926)

stéphane mallarmé ( ´mon cher mallarmé´ ), in french. monet writes in his characteristic bold purple ink and apologises for his delay in replying to mallarmé´s kind letter, which he had received despite the address, ´car un intelligent facteur aurait bien pu la garder´ (translation: ´an intelligent postman could easily have kept it´ ) and further writes ´nous n´avons pu profiter encore des

left us at the same time, so the house was in disarray and the painting work was interrupted' ). monet concludes his letter by writing ´présentez mes respects à ces dames que je remercie des précieuses recettes. madame hoschedé et ses filles me chargent de vous remercier de votre souvenir, moi, je vous assure de ma bonne amitié´ (translation: ´please give my regards to the ladies, whom i

french symbolist poet. mallarmé was a devoted admirer of monet and had written a glowing review of the artist's work at the second impressionist group show in 1876. the envelope which monet makes a quite specific reference to in the present letter is very likely to have been the one which he kept on display at giverny on a little easel in a glass-fronted cabinet. mallarmé had addressed the envelope ´monsieur monet, que l´hiver ni/ l´été, sa vision ne leurre/ habite, en peignant, giverny/ sis auprès de vernon, dans l´eure´ (translation: ´monsieur monet, whose vision neither winter nor/ summer can deceive/ lives while painting, at giverny/ close to vernon, in the eure´).   \n  on 13th july 1890, a little over two months before writing the present letter, monet had been visited by mallarmé at giverny, accompanied by berthe morisot and eugène manet. of the occasion, daniel wildenstein writes ´to compensate mallarmé for his failure to contribute an illustration to le tiroir de laque, monet invited him to choose a picture. embarrassed, mallarmé needed the encouragement of berthe morisot to choose a relatively large painting of the banks of the seine showing the jeufosse church spire; diagonally across the painting falls the plume of smoke from a train - symbol of the century - running upstream in the direction that mallarmé and his friends were to take back towards paris´ (from  monet - the triumph of impressionism , 2023 edition published by taschen, p.340-341).  \n  mallarmé often compared the subtle bend of the river depicted in monet´s  le train a jeufosse

his wedding to alice hoschedé (the civil ceremony had taken place a day earlier) and the upcoming marriage of monet´s stepdaughter, suzanne, ´je voulais aussi-vous ecrire et j´aurai du le faire plutôt

marriage to, alas, an american painter (needless to say that it was not easy, and without any obstacle on my part i am speaking of this last marriage which takes place on wednesday, ours was......in the most discreet simplicity)´ ). monet further enquires about his friend, ´mais et vous que devenez-vous et où ces lignes vont-elles vous rejoindre, sans doute dans un superbe oasis de bretagne enfin, où que vous soyez, pensez a votre ami, et donnez lui de vos nouvelles. je suis bien et lis ces évènements et les difficultés de la vie sont des entraves, mais il ne faut pas pour cela oublier

think of your friend and give him your news. i am well and i read these events and the difficulties of life are obstacles, but you must not forget the friends who love you, and you know that i am one of them´ ) and provides details of his own forthcoming plans, ´après le mariage du suzanne nous allons passer quelques jours chez mon frère au bord de la mer. et après je reprends ma bonne vie de giverny, ou depuis des mois je n´ai pas touché un pinceau´ (translation: ´after suzanne's wedding, we are going to spend a few days with my brother by the sea. and then i will resume my good life in giverny, where i haven't touched a paintbrush for months´ ). accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by monet. a letter of fine content. vg \n gustave geffroy (1885-1926) french journalist, art critic and historian, a friend and champion of monet. geffroy, noted as one of the first historians of the impressionist art movement, had published his histoire de l'impressionnisme in 1892, the same year as the present letter.  \n a contract between monet and alice hoschedé signed, on 10th july 1892 the marriage of the couple took place at saint-radegonde´s church in giverny. a quiet civil ceremony, at which the mayor of giverny, léon durdant, declared monet and hoschedé husband and wife, followed on 16th july (the day before the present letter was written). the witnesses were léon monet (the artist´s elder brother, mentioned in the present letter) and georges pagny, alice´s brother-in-law, and monet´s close friends, the painters gustave caillebotte and paul césar helleu.  \n monet´s stepdaughter and favourite model, suzanne hoschedé (1868-1899), married the american impressionist painter theodore earl butler (1861-1936) on 20th july 1892. suzanne´s proposed union with butler had prompted a very strong reaction in monet, reflected in the present letter. in a letter to alice on the subject, monet wrote ´i can´t think of anything else; the more i think about it, the more worrying and grievous i find it....you have the duty, after what has happened, to refuse your daughter to an american, unless he is known to us through connections or an introduction, but not just met on the road....if she is madly in love, if it is a passion, let her see how inappropriate it is after inquiring; if, as must surely be the case, it is no unconquerable passion, put an end to all hope´. as monet´s biographer daniel wildenstein observes, it is clear that the painter found it difficult to ´resign himself to the fact that his prettiest model was soon to be his no more´  (from  monet - the triumph of impressionism , 2023 edition published by taschen, p.365)."},"estimateMax":15000,"lotNumber":"841","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) monet on

french post-impressionist painter.  \n geffroy was one of the few critics who judged cézanne's work fairly and unreservedly during his lifetime. as early as 25th march 1894, he wrote in le journal about the then current relationship between cézanne's painting and the efforts of younger artists, and that there was a direct connection between cézanne's painting and that of paul gauguin, and even vincent van gogh. in the month prior to the present letter, november 1895, the aspiring gallery owner ambroise vollard had presented cézanne's first one-man show, which met with great success. the first buyer of a cézanne painting was monet, and of the exhibition geffroy wrote, again in le journal , that cézanne ´is a great truth fanatic, fiery and naive, harsh and nuanced. he will go to the louvre´.  \n monet´s defence of cézanne in the present letter, and the desire not to see ´false legends´ develop, would appear to extend from french novelist emile zola´s (1840-1902) treatment of cézanne. in a different letter to geffroy, written by monet less than a week earlier, on 10th december 1895, the artist had declared ´and then, my dear geffroy, what is this story about claude lantier, who is no more cézanne than manet, even though zola had the idea of painting the latter and making him a failure?´ in 1886 zola, who had become to regard his childhood friend cézanne as a failure, published his roman à clef, l´oeuvre , the fourteenth novel of his rougon-macquart series. the protagonist of the work is claude lantier, a revolutionary artist whose work is misunderstood by an art-going public hidebound by traditional subjects, techniques and representations. lantier does not achieve the realisation of his goals and commits suicide. the book is often blamed for ending the friendship between cézanne and zola.  \n provenance: the present letter was previously within the collection of andré barbier (1883-1970) french painter and a close friend of monet from 1906,

que l´opération avait eu lieu, ai-je écrit à winter. mais votre [mot] arrivé ce matin me rassure. espérons qu´aucune complication ne surgira et ne manquez pas de me tenir au courant, n´est-ce pas?´ (translation: ´i was worried not to hear anything. so yesterday, when i read in the papers that the operation had taken place, i wrote to winter. but your [note] arrived this morning and i am reassured. let us hope there will be no complications and do keep me informed, won't you?´ ). the artist continues to write of his work, ´quant aux venise, je voudrais bien en être aussi satisfait que vous semblez tous l´être. il y en a quelques-unes de possibles, mais ce n´est pas cela et je crains que votre amitié vous avegule. enfin, j´ai fait ce que j´ai pu. il y en a une grande partie chez les bernheim où vous pouvez les voir. le reste y sera dans huit à dix jours, tout au moins ce que je jugerai moins mauvais´ (translation: ´as for the venice paintings, i would like to be as pleased with them as you all seem to be. there are a few possibilities, but none of them are quite right, and i fear that your friendship is clouding your judgement. anyway, i have done what i could. there are a large number at the bernheims, where you can see them. the rest will be there in eight to ten days, at least those that i consider the least bad´ ) and also adds that he proposes coming to paris on the 15th, but will confirm this. accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by monet. a letter of excellent content, not least for the self-criticism monet displays in regard to his paintings, a characteristic the artist frequently harboured, even to the point of sometimes destroying his work. a couple of very small, minor tears to the borders, and one small, neat split at the base of the vertical fold in the bifolium, otherwise vg \n gustave geffroy (1885-1926) french journalist, art critic and historian, a friend and champion of monet.  \n the concern that monet displays at the beginning of his letter relates to the french statesman georges clemenceau (1841-1929), a long-time friend and supporter of the painter. in may 1912 clemenceau had undergone an operation on his prostate. étienne winter was clemenceau´s secretary and collaborator at l´aurore newspaper, owned and edited by the politician.  \n in the autumn of 1908 alice hoschedé persuaded monet to visit italy and the couple arrived in the country on 1st october. initially monet had been reluctant to leave giverny, but soon became enchanted with venice. each day the couple would slip out by gondola before 8am to explore and paint the city, which after a break for lunch would continue until 7pm. their three-month stay resulted in monet painting thirty-seven works of venice, most a series of artworks on the same motif at different times of the day, including le grand canal , and five more depicting the same theme, as well as the doge´s palace seen from san giorgio maggiore , and san giorgio maggiore at dusk. \n the death of monet´s wife, his dear companion alice, had occurred on 19th may 1911, almost exactly a year before writing the present letter. the widowed monet, to those who were close to him, appeared bewildered and lonely in the aftermath, and there was little evidence of creative energy. however geffroy offered some hope when he declared ´that with monet, there is nothing to fear, he will certainly take up his brush again´. clemenceau also intervened to help his friend on the road back to life and art. as monet´s biographer daniel wildenstein writes of this time, and in particular the venice paintings, ´in october [1911] monet intended to \"finish a few venice paintings\"......but this task soon came to seem onerous, and finally impossible: \"i am completely fed up with painting and i am going to pack up my brushes and colours for good\". if only he had left the venice paintings as they were \"in memory of those happy days with [his] dear alice\"! now he felt that he had spoiled several of them to the point where they should be destroyed. two months later, his courage had returned and he informed the bernheim-jeune brothers that his venice paintings would soon be finished and that the exhibition could take place in their gallery if they still wished to organise it......clemenceau was about to undergo a prostate operation, but remained as courageous as ever and a great comfort to monet. their efforts were in vain. as the date of the opening approached, monet sank into the depths of depression: \"i am quite aware that you will think my paintings perfect. i know that the show will be a great success, but all that means nothing to me, for i know myself that they are no good and no one can persuade me otherwise\". of course, the critics who wrote about the exhibition disagreed with monet. a tidal wave of admiration swept over monet´s venice.´ (from monet - the triumph of impressionism , 2023 edition published by taschen, pp.514-515).  \n

father, alexandre bernheim (1839-1915), had established in 1863, together they organised the first major exhibition of paintings by vincent van gogh in paris in 1901. earlier in the gallery´s history, bernheim had promoted the first impressionist and post-impressionist artists with exhibitions in 1874.  \n comte isaac de camondo (1851-1911) was a member of the house of camondo, a prominent sephardic jewish family of financiers active in europe and the ottoman empire. isaac de camondo moved to paris at the age of eighteen and inherited the principal role in the family´s banking business in 1889. the generous philanthropist was an important art collector with a particular interest in the impressionist movement, and owned works by edgar degas, édouard manet, pierre-auguste renoir, alfred sisley, paul cezanne, as well as monet. camondo visited the latter at giverny on several occasions, and the two men became friends. camondo acquired four canvasses from monet´s cathedrals series, in addition to le parlement de londres and le bassin d\u2019argenteuil. isaac de camondo was one of the founders, and vice-president of the société des amis du louvre and bequeathed his collection to the museum in 1908 on the condition that the whole be exhibited together for fifty years in a series of rooms bearing his name. in mid-1914 a new suite of exhibition rooms within the louvre was opened to display camondo´s collection, whose exacting choices captured the best of his time\u2019s cultural life. monet was represented by fourteen paintings, the frames for which the painter discusses in the present letters.   \n  paul leprieur (1860-1918) was a curator of the louvre museum in paris, joining the department of sculptures in 1896 and nine years later becoming

and very sad friend´ ). a few small, minor tears and one small area of paper loss, only affecting the black borders and not touching the text or signature, otherwise vg \n the brothers josse (1870-1941) and gaston (1870-1953) bernheim-jeune were two of the most prominent contemporary art dealers in paris during the early 20th century. working for the gallery their father, alexandre bernheim (1839-1915), had established in 1863, together they organised the first major exhibition of paintings by vincent van gogh in paris in 1901. earlier in the gallery´s history, bernheim had promoted the first impressionist and post-impressionist artists with exhibitions in 1874.  \n the subject of bernheim´s request may have been to make a donation to a charity sale in order to raise funds for the war effort. such events were not uncommon and became occasions for unexpected displays of unity, with monet´s paintings cropping up beside those of artistic rivals. however, such events had their drawbacks and the prices were not infrequently disastrous for the donors and undermined their standing on the collector´s market.  \n michel monet (1878-1966) was the younger of claude and camille monet´s two sons and, as a young boy, featured in two paintings created by his father in 1880. michel monet had been declared unfit for active service in world war i, but nevertheless volunteered and saw combat with the french army, notably at the battle of verdun in 1916.  \n monet makes a brief reference to sacha guitry  (1885-1957) in the present letter. the russian-born french stage actor, film actor, director, screenwriter, and playwright had first met claude monet in the summer of 1911 when they were introduced to each other by the bernheim-jeune brothers at their villa ´bois lurette´ in villers-sur-mer. the two men developed a close friendship and in 1915 monet was one of the subjects of guitry´s first cinematic film ceux de chez nous (´those of our home´). the twenty-two minute silent movie was first shown at the théatre des variétés on 22nd november 1915 and is often heralded as the first film about the process of art-making itself and thus the first true artist documentary. the film includes two- to three-minute-long appearances by claude monet and pierre-auguste renoir (both then around seventy-five years old), among other greats of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century french art scene, including the sculptor auguste rodin, the actors sarah bernhardt, andré antoine, and lucien guitry, the composer camille saint-saëns, and the writers anatole france, octave mirbeau, and edmond rostand. guitry\u2019s film helped immortalise monet at a time when cinema was still in its infancy, and the footage gives modern viewers a rare glimpse of monet in motion, painting in his beloved garden at giverny.  \n guitry was married five times, firstly to the actress charlotte lysès (1877-1956) whom monet also mentions in his letter. guitry and lysès were married in 1907 and later divorced in 1915.  \n as the present letter testifies, monet had been out of sorts shortly after the end-of-year festivities, but was back at work by mid-january 1915. at this time monet informed his friend, the journalist and art collector raymond koechlin, of the work he was undertaking: ´i am still pursuing my idea of a grand decoration.....this is the project i conceived some time ago: water, water-lilies and plants, spread across a huge area´. monet´s ´grand decoration´ was, of course, the monumental water lilies which would be donated to the musée de l'orangerie in 1922 ."},"estimateMax":8000,"lotNumber":"852","title":{"es":"monet claude:

commences his letter by stating ´mais oui, je ne demande qu´à vous aider et je ferai en sorte que ce ne soit pas en vain, mais vous ne me ferez jamais revenir sur mon opinion à l´égard des

of his recent work and activities, ´je viens de passer trois semaines à refaire le placement de deux ateliers, cela par suite de différentes ventes; pendant ce laps de temps, je n´ai pu me remettre au travail. et puis des tas de visites plus ou moins agréables. je veux bien vous fixer jeudi prochain 10 ct sauf avis contraire en cas de visite urgente (étant en de nouveaux pourparlers avec les

gustave geffroy (1885-1926) french journalist, art critic and historian, a friend and champion of monet.  \n monet´s discussion of paintings which geffroy wished to have photographed was presumably in relation to geffroy´s claude monet: sa vie, son temps, son œuvre (´claude monet: his life, his times, his work´) published in 1922 and richly illustrated with monochrome and colour reproductions.  \n monet's gift of his monumental series of eight water lilies to the french state for exhibition at the musée de l'orangerie was the subject of prolonged negotiations from 1918 onwards, in which georges clemenceau played a key role. clemenceau and geffroy had visited the orangerie in april 1921 as part of their quest to find a suitable home for monet´s paintings. finding that it fitted their requirements perfectly, clemenceau immediately invited monet to inspect the space for himself, which he did the following week. as the artist´s biographer daniel wildenstein writes of the situation at the time ´monet´s acceptance of the orangerie was greeted with delight. no sooner had this faded than monet began to doubt the wisdom of his decision, and then withdrew the donation altogether... [explaining] ....that he had conceived his décorations with a special kind of room in mind, where \"each of the different motifs could be shown in an arc\". this original intention would be unacceptably betrayed in a building so small that these different motifs would have to be \"shown absolutely straight\". those anxious to see the project realised were obliged to try to persuade monet to change his mind yet again. marcel pays published an interview with geffroy in excelsior under the ingenious title \"un don précieux: les nymphéas de claude monet attendent un emplacement\" (a precious gift: claude monet´s water-lilies are in search of a home´). geffroy used the opportunity to discuss the problems posed by the choice of an appropriate space, and recounted the memorable visit to.....the orangerie. but he made no mention of monet´s subsequent change of heart. monet, meanwhile, had waited three weeks for a reply to his refusal. when he read this article he wrote to paul léon [the director of the beaux-arts]. monet clearly wished to re-open negotiations, but his wording was somewhat confused. léon saw his opportunity, and simply informed him that he would respect his decision, though he deeply regretted it. this was the right tactic. monet authorised [the french art critic and inspecteur général des musées, arsène] alexandre to tell the relevant people that he was still willing to go ahead with the donation, and that he would even increase it so that \"it made two rooms\"´ (from monet - the triumph of impressionism , 2023 edition published by taschen, pp. 541 & 544).  \n the exhibition of monet´s water-lilies at the orangerie was  finally opened to the public on 16th may 1927, a few months after the artist´s death."},"estimateMax":15000,"lotNumber":"853","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) monet on his water-lilies ´ i am in new negotiations with the beaux-arts for my decorations´"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/140956/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":10000,"soldPrice":36000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:53:36.992Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac10,000 -

(cannes, alpes-maritimes), n.d., april 1959. picasso´s striking design is his prototype for the front cover of one of gallimard´s famous série noire editions and features the standard black background, picasso adding his playful title a quatre pattes le cul de jatte  ( ´ on all fours, legless´ ) to the centre, beneath which appear the celebrated yellow dot and nrf logo. in his layout picasso also remains faithful to gallimard´s classic design, including the imaginary editor and author´s (richard) name, however they are subverted by picasso´s dancing graphics and freedom of line, and the surname of the author is lost in illegible writing reminiscent of hypergraphics. the design is gently laid down at the head to the centre of a larger (approximately 33 x 78 cm) piece of card, evidently for display and framing purposes. the backing card also features the original envelope (neatly split into two halves) which was decoratively hand addressed by picasso in a variety of coloured inks, the recto appearing above the book cover design and addressed to ´ marcel duhamel/ chez gallimard/ nrf/ 5 r. sebastien bottin/ paris - 7e arrdt´ , the verso of the envelope appearing beneath the design, ´envoi picasso - cannes/ a.m.´ to which the artist has also added an orange circle to the centre, representing a seal. a marvellous piece of original artwork by picasso, linking the legendary spanish artist with the major french publishing house of gallimard; two giants of european culture. vg \n marcel duhamel (1900-1977) french actor and screenwriter who was the founder of the série noire publishing imprint in 1945.  \n it was probably through jacques prévert (1900-1977), the french poet and screenwriter, that his lifelong friend duhamel met picasso (a photograph exists of the three men in enjoying each others company in cannes in 1959). during his frequent stays on the french riviera marcel duhamel became increasingly close to picasso, who gave him a sketchbook for his birthday, which duhamel published in 1964 under the title le picasso de poche. in his memoir, raconte pas ta vie (1972), duhamel recalls the present book cover design, ´little by little, the house filled up with souvenirs of this kind, autographed books, bouquets of flowers, and even a title for the série noire, painted on a black background: a quatre pattes le cul-de.jatte. i would love to be able to use it, because it says it all. but go and find a subject that fits it!´  \n the playful title devised by picasso was in keeping with those imagined by duhamel for the books in the série noire collection, most of which had no connection whatsoever with the originals. for example, raymond chandler´s the little sister appeared under the title fais pas ta rosière! (´don´t be a rose!´ ) and his masterpiece the long goodbye was given the title sur un air de navaja (´to the tune of a navaja´ ). with its absurb and provocative humour, a quatre pattes le cul-de-jatte would have been a jewel in the série noire collection and testifies to picasso´s inventive genius in all areas.  \n anglo-american literature forms the bulk of the série noire collection, which celebrated its 80th anniversary this year. it has released a collection of crime fiction of the hardboiled detective thrillers variety published by its parent company gallimard (formerly éditions de la nouvelle revue française - nrf) and its authors have included raymond chandler, dashiell hammett, ed mcbain, peter cheyney and others. the série noire name became a generic term for works of detective fiction, and is considered to have inspired the french critic nino frank to coin the phrase film noir in 1946, describing hollywood crime dramas. as for the covers used in the série noire, they evolved from the simplicity conditioned by the technical means of the 1940s to the current covers where photographic and digital composition media have unfortunately replaced the simplicity of the early period."},"estimateMax":35000,"lotNumber":"885","title":{"es":"picasso pablo: (1881-1973) picasso´ s playful original cover design for an edition of the serie noire collection"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/140988/view","tags":["esart_drawings","esart","esart_all"],"directSalePrice":25000,"soldPrice":20000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:53:38.770Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac25,000 -

june 1937 and n.d. (2), to balbina barrera, an amateur artist and lam´s lover, in spanish. the correspondence comprises - \n (i) a.l.s., wifredo (twice), three pages, 4to, caldes de montbui, 16th may 1937. lam writes from the sanitorium where he was recovering after joining the republican side in the spanish civil war, making several references to barcelona and also stating ´i'm a little nervous but very hopeful that i'll get better soon. the doctor is coming tomorrow and we'll see what he says´ , and further adding ´they haven't brought me my paints yet, but when they do, i'll start working on my painting ´. lam closes his letter by writing ´what? are you going to the beach?´ beneath which he adds an original drawing of a slender woman lying full-length on a beach, with a sailing boat on the sea in the far distance, and the head of a man in profile, evidently a self-portrait, to the right.  \n (ii) a.l.s., wifredo lam , two pages, 4to, caldes de montbui, 12th june 1937. having received the paints he was waiting for, lam writes of a work that he is on the verge of completing, ´i have finished, or will finish this afternoon, a large painting that i really like because, although it has a certain effect, it is not bad for people to see the flaws, as this is proof that you are moving forward and that you are not a proud fool! if you knew how much progress i have made, you would be amazed and filled with joy, because it has taken me a lot of effort to see clearly how to paint´ , and continues, ´i think my illness was a consequence of my failed attempts, because every time i paint, i believe you are by my side, and it's true, because your portrait is always watching me from the wall, watching everything i do and every movement i make in front of my paintings!´ , further remarking ´now, don't go thinking that i have a museum, because although i work a lot, i also throw a lot away, as they are only sketches that i do on large sheets of paper, and the materials i use are glue and wall paint, so the work i do is for study and easy to transfer to a final form, as all the problems have been solved´ . lam also writes of his current situation and health, ´my dear, i have some bad news. i can't stay at the nursing home because the doctor told me that my condition is chronic... but now the nursing home is having difficulties and they are dismissing all the patients in one way or another... but i can't give this up for now, and i'll tell you why: cordón was here and he was very kind and asked me if i wanted to go to russia, and of course i told him that i would go as long as they would take better care of me there and cure me, even if i had to have an operation, but getting well soon is what matters to me, and we agreed on that. he left for madrid four days ago, and today i found out about the closure of the premises, which i must tell you has put me in a very bad mood, as i cannot leave barcelona´ . to the lower half of the second page lam has added an ink illustration which features a horse galloping on a sandy beach and with the sea in the distance, a lone woman lying on the sand close to the horse, and two naked lovers ( la pareja ; the couple) in full-length poses, the artist identifying various elements of the drawing, and in the left margin writing ´t  his is a new painting i have in mind. what do you think?´.  \n (iii) a.l.s., wifredo , two pages, 4to, caldes de montbui, 15th june 1937. lam provides his lover with an update on his health, and also reflects on the artistic career he has chosen, and his ambitions for the future, in part, ´today here in caldes, i'm feeling better, but a little annoyed because i don't know what to do: whether to stay in the nursing home or leave.......i have to keep studying, working on my projects, and i'll talk about this. as you know, all my dreams of going to paris to study have always failed, and this has always saddened me and lowered my morale, because i know very well that with a little study there, i would gain a great advantage over my competitors......i think that until i fulfil this need, i am and will remain bitter.......always and at all times, i will do and be as i set out to do when i chose this path in my life, and that is to fight with determination to achieve my goal......i don't like knowing that i have a chronic illness at all, i'm furious´ . to the second page lam has drawn two beautiful illustrations, each featuring full-length naked studies of two lovers, one almost identical to part of the drawing in his previous letter ( la pareja ; the couple), and the other depicting a lady seated with her back to the viewer, but with her face and breasts reflected in a mirror on the wall opposite, and with her male lover standing in a full-length pose before her. of the drawings lam writes ´you can't get any idea of the drawings other than that they all show a man and a woman, but as for their artistic and poetic meaning, of course not, because they are two very carefully studied sketches´ . \n (iv) a.l.s., with his initial w , two pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d. the artist writes of one of his works, which he appears to have sold, ´i saw the man from the painting and he gave me a bad feeling. he treated me very kindly and assured me that everything would be sorted out on friday. we'll see. for now, he has told me to choose the frame and tomorrow i will take the painting to his house. i think he means business´ and further writes ´if you only knew how much i've dreamed since i was a child of seeing and travelling the world, especially italy.....if it weren't for the italian-abyssinian-english conflict, i assure you that i would already be getting everything ready and i would be seeing you in italy´ . at the foot of the page lam has added illustrations of several figures, including three heads in profile, and the second page features two light pencil studies by the artist, over which he has drawn two further profile studies, one of a woman, in ink. in the margins lam writes ´i'm feeling better now, we'll see how i feel later´ . \n (v) a.l.s., with his initial w , two pages, 4to, n.p., n.d. lam writes a somewhat downhearted letter, stating, in part, ´don't condemn me, i'm just thinking about loneliness, i'm feeling down, see you soon....well, tonight i'll write you a long letter because right now i'm feeling the emptiness of loneliness......don't be angry, i'm very upset, be patient..... i'm fed up. goodbye, see you tomorrow´ . to the first page lam has drawn an image of a lady standing in a full-length pose wearing a dress and, as the artist notes, a new belt. the second page is dominated by a wonderful self-portrait of lam standing in a half-length pose, holding a brush in one hand and his palette in the other, with his head turned in profile as he observes the painting that he is working on; a seascape featuring a lighthouse that rests on an easel. in the distance two figures can be seen, with a large bird flying above their heads, and several other figures appear to the right. \n an exceptional and extremely rare series of illustrated letters. the final letter has a small area of paper loss and a very lengthy split running across almost the whole width of the page, and the letter almost neatly divided into two separate halves. otherwise vg, 5 \n during the spanish civil war, lam, a fervent republican committed to the fight against franco, worked on the manufacture of anti-tank bombs. however, the artist was poisoned by the products he handled and in march 1937 was sent to convalesce at the sanitorium in caldes de montbui, north of barcelona.  \n two of the illustrations featured in the present letters represent lam´s paintings untitled (la pareja) and untitled , 37.32 and 37.34 in lou laurin-lam,

ce qu'il voudra! ce qu'il pourra.......et il sera maitre de son destin, un un sens limite, bien entendu: celui de la libre expression de son imagination. et nous trouverons alors, au pied du mur , ce terrible \"francais individualiste\" dont les mechantes langues et les decides-a-rien-faire levent les fantomes innombrables a chacune de nos propisitions. j'avais mis en exergue a mon rapport sur l'urbanisation de la ville de moscou, en 1930, ceci: je place comme pierre angulaire de toute urbanisation moderne le respect sacrede la liberte individuelle . on m'en avait voulu. mais qu'importe!.......cette gageure qui fut proposee dans \"urbanisme\" en 1924 elle a ete meme: \"la ville radieuse\". il existe desormais une doctrine d'equipement des villes dont la clef de voute est: soleil, espace, verdure , en chaque logis. en chaque logis! voici donc ce que la societe moderne peut apporter a chacun de ses membres, par l'enterprise des grands travaux de readaptation des villes aux besoins d'une conscience nouvelle.......une telle transformation dans la coupe du logis est une veritable revolution architecturale. le logis devient une petite maison. et que m'importe que ces petites maisons soient a dix, rangees les unes au-dessus des autres et qu'elles s'alignent innombrablement au long d'une \"rue interienne\": l'homme est entre chez lui, il a ferme la porte. il a recu le choc de set amenagement architectural: grand et puis intime, et tout ce soleil, cet espace et ces verdures que cette reforme a precisement permis de capter. je dis que cet homme desormais n'est plus jamais le chien battu qui hante les \"boites locatives\" de nos villes......cet homme chez lui a perdu le souvenir des lourdes tribulations que lui et sa famille ont vecu depuis toujours. riche ou miserable, c'etait l'absence pour tous des \"joies essentielles\". les \"joies essentielles\" sont apportees a la societe moderne par les techniques modernes, l'invitation urbanistique et la poesie de l'architecture. ceci n'est pas d'utopie. depuis 20 ans, des travaux limites ont ete accomplis, fixant les etapes constructives. chez nous et ailleurs, par nous et par d'autres. il existe deja des fragments - des jalons, des preuves - de \"ville radieuse\"......'

and if only they were creditors to whom i owed money. but i believe, on the contrary, that they are creditors who owe me´ ). dumas also writes of his planned exploits, displaying a certain amount of bravura, ´ aussitôt que nous allons avoir révolutionné le prince scanderberg et moi les îles ioniennes, l'albanie, la thessalie, la macédoine et les sporades, je t\u2019écrirai, soit de la patrie d'andré chénier, soit de la patrie de pyrrhus, soit de la patrie d'alexandre soit de la patrie d'achille, soit de la patrie de pythagore pour te donner de mes nouvelles et de celles de mon nouveau peuple´ (translation: ´ as soon as prince scanderberg and i have revolutionised the ionian islands, albania, thessaly, macedonia and the sporades, i will write to you, either from the homeland of andré chénier, or from the homeland of pyrrhus, or from the homeland of alexander, or from the homeland of achilles, or from the homeland of pythagoras, to give you news of myself and of my new people´ ) and further makes reference to a friend, ´ je suis à chercher bien inutilement dans mon esprit en quoi j'ai pu faire du chagrin à mme gaud. ce serait bien à contre-coeur car dieu merci s'il y a quelqu'un que j'aime de tout mon cœur c'est elle. seulement elle est un peu déçue par moi qui suis bonhomme et qui ne sait écrire que des lavis des drames et des comédies tandis qu'elle, elle écrit des lettres qui feraient faire enrager madame de sévigné. si elle les lisait´ (translation: ´ i am searching in vain in my mind for anything i may have done to cause mrs gaud grief. it would be very much against my will, for thank god, if there is anyone i love with all my heart, it is she. only she is a little disappointed in me, who am a good man but can only write sketches of dramas and comedies, while she writes letters that would make madame de sévigné enraged. if she read them´ ). dumas concludes in warm and affectionate terms, encouraging his son to get better and better, and not work too hard, and sends ´ mille bonnes tendresses comme notre cœur savent si bien les garder que nos bouches ne savent comment les dire´ (translation: ´ a thousand tender kisses, which our hearts know so well how to keep that our mouths cannot express´ ). a letter of delightful content illustrating dumas´ larger than life character, and displaying his energy, his enthusiasm, the castles in the air he never stopped building, his debts, his works and, above all, his perpetual good humour, which ultimately took none of this seriously. some light creasing and minor age wear to the edges, otherwise vg \n alexandre dumas fils (1824-1895) french author and playwright.  \n  in march 1861, the kingdom of italy was proclaimed, with victor emmanuel ii as its king. dumas travelled there and for the next three years participated in the movement for italian unification. he founded and led a newspaper, indipendente, and while there, also befriended giuseppe garibaldi. the writer had long admired garibaldi, with whom he shared a commitment to liberal republican principles as well as membership within freemasonry. dumas returned to paris in 1864, when he published travel books about italy."},"estimateMax":6000,"lotNumber":"965","title":{"es":"dumas alexandre: père (1802-1870)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/141068/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":5000,"soldPrice":5000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:53:47.729Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac5,000 -

[november 1865], in french. the nine pages manuscript are written only to front pages, to nine sheets of paper. the pages of this account of his stay in vienna are pure dumas, at his most delicious, linking anecdotes, portraits, geographical, ethnographic, moral, historical and artistic considerations, with a lot of humour and references to his father and even to napoleon. dumas starts referring to hunting on the banks of the danube, and further holds forth one of his favourite topics, women, stating in part ` les viennois sont certainement de tous les peuples d'allemagne, celui qui par sa gaîté et ses manières ressemble le plus au peuple français \u2013 les femmes y sont ravissantes de beauté et cette beauté toute poétique qui rappelle les héroïnes des ballades d'uhlaud, les tragédies de schiller et les poèmes de goethe, ne ressemble en rien à la beauté, mobile et railleuse des parisiennes... ´ (translation: \" the viennese are certainly of all the peoples of germany, the one who in their gaiety and manners most resembles the french people \u2013 the women there are ravishingly beautiful and this very poetic beauty which recalls the heroines of uhlaud's ballads, the tragedies of schiller and the poems of goethe, resembles in no way the mobile and mocking beauty of the parisian women...\") and looking for the reason for such beauty, he puts forward this hypothesis `j'en trouverais peut-être la cause dans la fusion des plus belles races du globe. vienne est le creuset où viennent se jeter bohème, hongrie, grèce, italie, allemagne \u2013 et même turquie... il est évident que les croisements de races doivent donner de merveilleux produits.´ translation: \" i would perhaps find the cause in the fusion of the most beautiful races of the globe. vienna is the melting pot into which bohemia, hungary, greece, italy, germany \u2013 and even turkey \u2013 come to throw themselves... it is obvious that crossbreeding must produce wonderful products.\" ) further, dumas refers to schlegel and to theatre actresses, saying `... apr è s ducis, schlegel est certainement un des plus habiles mutilateurs que je connaisse...  l'allemagne est le seul pays où les soirées littéraires ne soient pas ridicules à cause de la poésie native des femmes. cherchez parmi toutes nos parisiennes une actrice qui puisse jouer juliette et vous ne la trouverez pas...´ (translation: \"... after ducis, schlegel is certainly one of the most skillful mutilators i know... germany is the only country where literary evenings are not ridiculous because of the native poetry of women. look among all our parisian women for an actress who can play juliet and you will not find her...\") further again dumas makes very interesting comments relating to his father, the republicain general, and compares his arrival at vienna to the one napoleon did, stating in part ` je ne sais si vous serez de mon avis, mais je trouve qu'il est assez curieux pour un français fils d'un général républicain qui a fait contre l'autriche les campagnes de 96 et 97 \u2013 de chasser le matin sur les bords du danube... d'entrevoir à travers les saules et les peupliers dépouillés de leurs feuilles le champ de bataille de wagram \u2013 et après palestro, magenta, solférino... d'être attendu le soir chez la première artiste dramatique de vienne, qui a rassemblé les plus jolies femmes des quatre ou cinq théâtres de la capitale pour lui faire fête. si glorieuse que soit l'entrée de napoléon à vienne, j'aime mieux la mienne.´ (translation \" i don't know if you will agree with me, but i find it rather curious for a frenchman, son of a republican general who fought in the campaigns of 96 and 97 against austria, to hunt in the morning on the banks of the danube... to glimpse through the willows and poplars stripped of their leaves the battlefield of wagram - and after palestro, magenta, solferino... to be expected in the evening at the home of the leading dramatic artist in vienna, who has gathered the prettiest women from the four or five theaters in the capital to celebrate him. however glorious napoleon's entry into vienna may have been, i prefer mine...\") before concluding, dumas describes a very amusing scene, saying ` ce matin un monsieur parfaitement vêtu, suivi d'un chien de l'espèce des griffons me fait passer sa carte. je le prends pour un gentleman quelconque, je lui ouvre la porte, je vais au-devant de lui, je l'invite à entrer lui et son animal. le monsieur me fait un long discours auquel je ne comprends rien... le monsieur transporte tout ce qui occupe le milieu du salon sur le piano et les consoles, puis il met une chaise sur la table dégarnie, cherche de tous les côtés, et découvre un tabouret qu'il met sur la chaise. après quoi il couche tous les fauteuils du salon à distance égale les uns des autres... quand son aménagement est fini il fait signe à son chien qui se dresse sur ses pattes de derrière, se met à sauter par-dessus les fauteuils, puis sur la table, puis sur la chaise, puis enfin sur le tabouret où il s'assied gravement...´ (translation: \" this morning a perfectly dressed gentleman, followed by a dog, a griffon, gave me his card. i took him for any gentleman, i opened the door, i went to meet him, i invited him and his animal to come in. the gentleman gave me a long speech which i didn't understand at all... the gentleman moved everything that occupied the middle of the living room onto the piano, then he put a chair on the table, searched all over, and discovered a stool which he placed on the chair. after which he laid all the armchairs in the living room at equal distances from each other... when his arrangement was finished he signaled to his dog who stood up on his hind legs, began to jump over the armchairs, then onto the table, then onto the chair, then finally onto the stool where he sat down gravely...\") an amazing manuscript full of fantasy. very small overall minor age wear, otherwise g

well, indiscretions - to attend to) the slightest intention of having \"a go at the cardinal\", for, in common with alberto de rohden, & other artists whom his eminence has defrauded, i consider my affair will be more advantageously employed as a story illustrative of the morals of the dignified clergy. i take this opportunity of informing you that i have detected a fresh example of dishonesty in one of fr. beauclerk´s officials. mrs. tennant, his reverence´s collector, borrowed of me last year a yellow book, & a dark room lamp. she has returned neither, & she denies that she has the yellow book, wh. i may say was lent on the same day when she stole a negative (being a portrait of the writer which she coveted) from my late studio. it is perfectly amazing to see how fr. beauclerk´s parishioners, on finding his reverence to condone violence, and to be a flagrant & confessed liar, calumniator, & manuscript thief, conspire to initiate his vices, e.g. by collecting subscriptions for the holywell record, keeping the same until found out, & omitting to supply the subscribers with the records for which they have paid. such is the force of an evil example. and yet fr. beauclerk condones their crimes & gives them high places e.g. in processions, from which they turn to bow to us whom they have injured & whom fr. beauclerk, as a matter of private revenge, has deprived of our rites. it is also my duty to tell you that we are no longer able to conceal the fact that for four weeks mr & mrs hochheimer & i have been living on snacks of bread & potatoes & for some days together we have had no food at all. this is known to fr. beauclerk, the provincial, & the vicar apostolic; and, now that some of the townspeople have discovered it, we need no longer endeavour to shield fr. beauclerk on that count. the fact that mrs. hochheimer suffers in health, being deprived of the society of her say, as well as of necessaries of life, does not of course matter. she is the wife of my employer & must expect to suffer if fr. beauclerk chooses to be revenged on me. and after all she is only a protestant. but meanwhile the 18 counts of our own indictment of fr. beauclerk, having passed the vicar apostolic, & the provincial s.j. are now being assiduously agitated in rome, where, i can assure you, we mean to prosecute them without ceasing until we obtain either our rights or excommunication, but justice anyhow. i, on my part, after notifying the vicar apostolic & taking his silence for consent, have published the correspondence i had with his lordship last may june july in which is contained the complete list of some of fr. beauclerk´s lies & of his behaviour in regard to spoiling the protestant alliance lecture in feb, & this cursing of me, mr f llewellyn jones & the town of holywell in may´ . rare. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg \n charles sidney beauclerk (1855-1934) jesuit priest, a direct descendant of charles beauclerk, 1st duke of st albans and the illegitimate son of king charles ii and nell gwynn. beauclerk was ordained to the priesthood in 1888 and served as parish priest at holywell from 1890-98, during which time he attempted to turn the town into the ´lourdes of wales´.  \n in april 1895, rolfe arrived in holywell and was engaged by beauclerk to paint some new banners for use in the town's regular catholic processions. beauclerk allowed rolfe to set up his studio in an unused schoolroom, and rolfe took over as editor and chief writer for the holywell record . however, it was not long before rolfe's relations with the parish priest began to deteriorate and broke down altogether when beauclerk rejected his request to be paid a hefty sum for painting the banners. eventually rolfe had to agree to a small fee of £50, but he used his control of the holywell record to attack beauclerk relentlessly. by early 1897 rolfe was drawing his every holywell acquaintance into his feud with beauclerk. eventually the priest's position became untenable, and the jesuit provincial decided to transfer him.  \n beauclerk later recognised unflattering versions of himself in rolfe's novel hadrian the seventh (1904), one of the characters being described as ´a hare-brained and degenerate priest´. beauclerk did, however, possess the generosity to write and congratulate rolfe when it was published."},"estimateMax":1200,"lotNumber":"1004","title":{"es":"rolfe frederick: (1860-1913) rolfe describes a jesuit priest as ´ a flagrant & confessed liar, calumniator, & manuscript thief´"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/141107/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":900,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:53:53.979Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,000 -

(1983). the manuscript, with a number of corrections, is a book review for \n quantitative economic policies and interactive planning: a reconstruction of the theory of economic policy by andrew hughes hallett and hedley j. b. rees, and states, in part, \n ´this excellent book constitutes one set of the generalizations of the initially rather simple theory of economic policy whose credit is given - not quite justifiably - to the present reviewer, who in fact acted somewhat as a popularizer of ragnar frisch´s work for the united nations.....the present reviewer is only modestly trained in matrix algebra, and the book´s quality in that purely mathematical sense will not be dealt with. the number of directions in which generalization is possible is large enough to find some of them overlooked even. thus, preston and pagan (1982), nijkamp (1980) and stone (1981) are not mentioned in the otherwise careful list of references......the special feature of this book is, in my opinion, its internalizing of a number of phases of the policy making process into a more integrated operation. examples of such phases are the evaluation of the model, the selection of a policy, i.e. of the set of instruments, and the imposition of lower and upper values to the instrument values. in the evaluation procedure the authors adhere to the usual pareto assumption of non-measurability of personal welfare functions: they seem to reject measurement as applied by van praag.......the authors cover an enormous number of problems in a very concise way. with some 200 references they have established links with practically the entire relevant english-language literature.......in the final chapter (ch.14), as a byproduct, we are given a characteristic of the planning-and-policy activity in five countries: the u.k., the netherlands, the usa, france and belgium. one very useful statement is that a year-by-year planning suffers from myopia - one of the most characteristic evils of to-day´s policies in almost all western countries. there is little to criticize and much to praise in this book. the present reviewer feels grateful for the choice of its subject and in particular for the \"rehabilitaion of the theory of economic policy\" as offered in chapter 7. the only shortcoming for a reader who wants to trace the arguement in favour of some interesting result is the absence of a list of symbols and an author index alongside the references......these few critical remarks reflect the old generation´s comparitive advantage, very modest indeed in comparison to the young generation´s considerable comparative advantage in mathematical training. let me finish by stating that, since several of the concrete examples mentioned in the text have been produced by dutchmen the book contributes a very successful anglo-dutch coproduction, parallel to some multinational enterprises and in contradistinction to some well-known uses of the term dutch in the english language´ . vg"},"estimateMax":600,"lotNumber":"1048","title":{"es":"tinbergen jan: (1903-1994)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/141151/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":400,"soldPrice":380,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:53:55.971Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac400 -

\n (i) franklin d. roosevelt - an excellent t.l.s., franklin d. roosevelt , as president, two pages (written to the first and third sides of the bifolium), 8vo, washington, 10th february 1938, to arthur murray, on the printed stationery of the white house. roosevelt commences by reflecting ´i begin to think that events in this world move with a velocity which increases with every passing year´ and adds that since receiving murray´s letter new events have happened which render murray out of date, observing ´another crisis in germany, but it does prove your rightness making unkind remarks about some people who see nazi-ism ideals of peace and good-will´ and also informing murray ´i am getting on better with some of your people - - for they are really showing signs of wanting to meet me part of the way - - perhaps not fifty percent yet! i, too, am pursued by catch-crisis in this country, and i am in the midst of a long process of education - - and the process seems to be working slowly but surely´ . roosevelt further expresses his pleasure at murray and his wife being able to visit america in the autumn, ´my present plan - - if peace remains and if congress goes home in june - - is to stay in these parts until after my boy john´s wedding and the visit of the crown prince and princess of sweden, about july first, and then take a trip on a cruiser for a month, either in the pacific or south atlantic. this means that from the middle of august i shall be up, off and on at hyde park until november, so if you can get here then - - preferably between september fifteenth and november first - - it would be perfect´ . with a presentation inscription by murray to the head of the first page, ´for hermione hobhouse from arthur murray´ , with his stamped name beneath, and date, 7th august 1957, in his hand. \n (ii) arthur murray -

much less keep pace with - the changes that confront them as the days pass. but after all there was no reason why they should have been surprised at the latest turn of events, unless indeed they did believe - as some of us have always believed - that hitler´s eyes had a fixed stare in an easterly and south easterly direction, and that nothing would divert him from his objective´ . in concluding murray thanks roosevelt for their suggested dates of a visit to hyde park, ´that will be delightful, and we shall look forward very much to it´ . \n (iii) arthur murray - a lengthy t.l.s., arthur murray , four pages (separate leaves), 8vo, london, 26th march 1938, to franklin roosevelt. murray commences by discussing arrangements for his visit to america, and explains that he and his wife propose to arrive in new york on 16th october, ´and it will be very nice if you will allow us to come to you about that time´ , and continues to refer to various world political events, ´as it seems to me the continental problems through which edward grey had to steer in pre-war days were simple as compared with those which fall to be solved by the british government at these times. it may well be that the chickens which have been wandering through the tangled jungle of mistaken policies are now coming home to roost. failure to read aright from the beginning the ambitions and aspirations of the nazi regierung - - of which failure, i trust, i am absolved by the tenor of my letters to you during the past year! - - have caused the situation with which we stand confronted to-day to be infinitely more complex than it might otherwise have been. but, however that may be, the policy now enunciated by the prime minister, setting forth the circumstances, and coneivable circumstances, in which britain would draw the sword - - which is now being forged with redoubled energy - - is a policy of which the great bulk of the nation approves. the house of commons approved it without a division......the facts speak for themselves, namely, that the european policy adumbrated by the prime minister has large majority support in britain and throughout the british commonwealth of nations.....so far as the problem of italy is concerned, i conceive the greater evil to be that as germany grew stronger italy, if left completely within her orbit, would inevitably become an obedient tentacle of the german octopus, and that a german \"bloc\" from the baltic to the mediterranean (and possibly to the bosphorus and the black sea) with all its probabilities of a world-hegemony-seeking conflict, would become an accomplished fact. if british policy can avert such a \"bloc\" it will be proceeding in the direction of safeguarding the independence of south eastern european states, - - now, most unhappliy, one less in number - - and in ensuring the continuance of european peace. an old friend of mine....woodroffe by name.....is chairman of british businesses operating in central china.....and a great friend of chaing-kai-shek´s and other prominent members of the chinese government. woodroffe says that the information from various quarters that is coming in to him now leads him to the belief that the beginning of the defeat of japan, so far as her aims and objectived in china (particularly south of the yellow river) are concerned, is definitely at hand, and, he thinks, may be much nearer at hand than many people suppose. we must devoutly hope that he is right in his prognostications´ . \n three letters of fine political content written at the time of the anschluss, one of the first major steps in hitler´s desire to create a greater german reich. a few small pinholes and minor rust stains to the upper left corners of each page, otherwise vg, 3"},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"1162","title":{"es":"roosevelt franklin d.: (1882-1945) (+2) roosevelt & murray engage in a discussion of nazism and hitler"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/64379/lot/141265/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":2000,"soldPrice":2800,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:54:12.696Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac2,000 -

then on her mistress.  \n the battle of pułtusk, in poland, took place on 26th december 1806 during the war of the fourth coalition. napoleon had ordered multiple of his main military corps to pursue the russians to pultusk, including different corps under marshals murat, davout, augereau, ney, bernadotte, bessieres, soult and lannes. despite their strong numerical superiority and artillery, the russians suffered the french attacks, before retiring the next day and after having suffered greater losses than the french.  \n marshal lannes had orders to cross the narew at pułtusk with his corps. he was aware that there was a russian force in front of him, but did not know its size. after struggling through the mud, his first troops reached the area and drove the cossacks back onto the russian main line. because of the terrain, lannes could only see the russian advance positions on the extreme left and right with the cavalry between them. lannes was in a very difficult position with a much inferior number of soldiers than the russians. meanwhile the 3rd division of davout's 3rd corps, temporarily commanded by his chief of staff fournier, had been ordered to pursue a russian column apparently retiring on pułtusk. concerned about the strength of the russian cavalry force which was escorting guns and stores, fournier was preparing to stop for the night when he heard the sounds of combat to his right, and so marched his men towards pułtusk. lannes was following his orders, and the result was to find himself facing a superior force in a good defensive position. napoleon's orders had not allowed for this, and unaware of the odds against him, lannes attacked. if fournier had not used his initiative and marched to the sound of the guns, the result may have been very different.
