TOULOUSE-LAUTREC HENRI DE (1864-1901). - Lot 268
TOULOUSE-LAUTREC HENRI DE (1864-1901). 2 L.A.S. "yours H." and "your boy Henri", [Paris December 1893] to HER MOTHER, the Countess Adèle de TOULOUSE-LAUTREC; 4 pages in-8 each (stamp of the Max Thorek collection on the 1st one with small trace of collage). Before his installation at 27 rue Caulaincourt, on his album Le Café-concert. [Le Café-concert, text by Georges Montorgueil and 22 lithographs, by Toulouse-Lautrec and Ibels, published by André Marty at L'Estampe originale]. "My dear Mother, Bourges leaves in three days for the great operations, and I am going to do my best to settle down as soon as possible. All these material matters are knocking me down and there really must be no other way of getting out of it to do it. But I've done the math. Bonne and this apartment will cost me about six francs a day. That's the price of a mediocre hotel. So there's no need to hesitate, even if it means changing premises later. Your travel delays put me off and I can only go and see you in Albi. [...] I would prefer to come at the end of January once I have moved. The Christmas Figaro is not worth buying. We have just published an album on café-concert which is doing well. [...] I'm freshly vaccinated and it took. There are quite a few small poxes in Paris". "My dear Mother, Let's start with a merry (relative) Christmas and the happy new year, in other words, seasonal wishes. Gabriel [Tapié de Céleyran] must have given you some news about me, good news at that. It is regrettable that I cannot go to Albi, for you will be forced to hasten your trip to Paris or not to see me, which would be unfortunate for you, and for me especially, for apart from Gabriel I do not see many people except for those who are indifferent. Another guitar. I have just done my year-end accounts. With Ricardelle's meager harvest, I'll barely make it to April, and without doing anything stupid. So you'll have to put the famous reserve at my disposal, which is already depleted. - The best thing would be to deposit them at the Crédit Lyonnais, for example"... Correspondence (ed. Herbert Schimmel, 1992), nos. 330-331, pp. 243-244.
