Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Autograph letter signed by Charles Auguste Émile Durant known as Carolus-Duran, famous portraitist of high society during the Third Republic. One folded sheet.
The artist gives his authorization to the famous journal L'Illustration to reproduce one of the portraits ("le portrait en gris de Melle XXX") ["the grey portrait of Miss XXX"] that he presented at the first Salon du Champ de Mars, in 1890. This painting received good reviews, notably in the Revue des Deux mondes: "[...] M. Carolus Duran est pourtant un portraitiste rare et supérieur par la sincérité qu'il apporte à rendre, dans tout son éclat et toute sa variété, la première et saisissante apparence des êtres vivans, par l'aisance et par la verve avec lesquelles il les campe et les anime dans la vérité de leurs allures, de leur air, de leurs ajustemens. [...] la troisième, Mlle S..., une toute jeune fille, une brunette fraîche et rose, en toilette de ville, porte un délicieux costume gris, avec ceinture et jabot rosés" ["M. Carolus Duran is nevertheless a rare and superior portraitist through the sincerity he brings to rendering, in all its brilliance and variety, the first and striking appearance of living beings, through the ease and verve with which he positions and animates them in the truth of their bearing, their air, their attire. [...] the third, Miss S..., a very young girl, a fresh and rosy brunette, in town dress, wears a delightful grey costume, with pink belt and jabot"] (Georges Lafenestre, "Les Salons de 1890", 3rd period, volume 99, 1890).
