« Je crois qu'on ne peut parler d'une école que si elle existe et non de ce qu'elle pourrait être si elle existait »

Unpublished autograph signed postcard by Guillaume Apollinaire addressed to the Dijon art historian Marcel Mayer. Two pages written in black ink on a photographic postcard depicting the courtyard of the Louvre.
Charming letter praising the attachment to their roots of the "...fameux Flamands-Espagnols, Hollandais et Bourguignons que j'admire tant" ["famous Flemish-Spanish, Dutch and Burgundians whom I admire so much"] and informing his correspondent of the writing and forthcoming publication of a "petit livre sur Rude" ["little book on Rude"] that Guillaume Apollinaire will not fail to send him.
Fine autograph signature with the autograph address of 202 Boulevard Saint-Germain.
