TOULOUSE-LAUTREC HENRI DE (1864-1901). L.A.S. "yours Henri", Friday [December 1892], to HER MOTHER, Countess Adèle de TOULOUSE-LAUTREC; 4 pages in-8. On his meeting with the singer Yvette Guilbert, and his project of a poster for her. "My dear Mother, you have finally understood that you must come. I am very happy about this, especially since the snow that is falling here may delay you even more. You must hurry as long as the railways are not interrupted. I am covered with iodine and cotton wool having caught the first cold. But it is nothing and I can open my eyes which I could not do yesterday. I saw my aunt [Cecile Pascal] who is waiting for you impatiently and is afraid to scare you. I reassured her. Your natural sympathy cannot fail to be moved by the good fortune that has befallen me. Mr. Jules Coutaut, who was in Nice with us, spoke about me to Yvette Guilbert, the fin de siècle singer, and yesterday in her dressing room she asked me to make her a poster. It is the most beautiful success I could have dreamed of - because it has already been performed by the most famous and it is a question of doing something very good. - The family won't join in my joy, but you are different. Apart from that, black weather snowboots and colds"... Correspondence (ed. Herbert Schimmel, 1992), no. 260, p. 211.
