LEMONNIER (Camille), unpublished correspondence... - Lot 238 - Les ventes Damien Voglaire SRL
LEMONNIER (Camille), unpublished correspondence of 49 letters addressed to Jeanne de TALLENAY. Two envelopes preserved. Lemonnier rarely dates his letters and when he does, it is without the vintage! Several letters are however dated 1902. We enclose a letter on mourning paper addressed to a "Dear Sir", dated Feb. 09. Also enclosed is a copy of his death notice (faded). Camille Lemonnier (1844-1913) is considered the Belgian Zola. This correspondence reveals a connection between Lemonnier and Jeanne de Tallenay. In the letter dated "15 July", presumably 1902, he writes on : "the beauty of a loyal and frank, discreet and secure affair, with all the abandonment that sincere hearts could wish for". This liaison seems unknown to historians of letters. Exceptional set of 51 pieces.
