Beschreibung:
8vo. Together 3½ pp. on 2 bifolia. To Winnaretta Singer, Princess of Scey-Montbéliard, about the purchase of Manet's "Olympia" from his widow, in order to offer it to the Louvre. - Asking her for the sum of 2,000 francs, the subscription agreed on, so that he can transfer all of the subscriptions to Manet's widow: "Devant prendre possession de l'Olympia, et remettre ces jours ci le montant des souscriptions à Madame Manet je viens vous prier de bien vouloir me faire parvenir, le plus tôt possible, le montant de votre souscription (2000 F) que vous m'avez chargé d'inscrire sous votre nom [.]" (16 Feb. 1890). - Confirming receipt of the funds and thanking her for her contribution, not yet daring to believe in the successful realisation of the project, which he expects to be met with hatred and stupidity, pointing out that in case the museum administration should "commit the foolish mistake" of refusing the painting, it would at least remain in their possession: "Chère Madame, je vous accuse reception et vous remercie de votre envoi de Deux-mille francs pour votre souscription à l'achat de l'Olympia de Manet. Je n'ose espérer encore un succès de l'entreprise (car il faut compter avec la haine et l'imbécilité courante) mais quoi qu'il arrive le tableau nous restera acquit pour être remis à l'état en temps opportun, si l'administration actuelle commet la bêtise de le refuser [.]" (20 Feb. 1890). - It was Monet who took the initiative in 1889 to launch a subscription to buy "Olympia" from Manet's widow, in order to offer it to the Louvre. In March 1890, he was able to buy the painting from Suzanne Manet for 19,415 francs, and the painting entered the Musée du Luxembourg, despite the reluctance of the administration; it is now in the Musée d'Orsay. The wealthy Winnaretta Singer, then Princess of Scey-Montbéliard, and future Princess of Polignac, was the principal donor, with 2,000 francs. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 57122

Popular children's book author of "The Blot: Little City Cat" (1930), "Hello, the Boat!" (1938), "Walking on Gold" (1940), "Let's Go!" (1949) and others. Two Autograph Letters Signed, each 8½" X 11", each New York, NY, 1938 December 6 and 1939 January 13. Both addressed to Owen Davies. Near fine. Orders various titles from this Chicago bookseller, such as "Josie Turner's 'Elsie Dinsmore on the Loose'. I could dispose of as many copies as you can find, if the price is not exorbitant." In the second letter, though she orders five copies of the Dinsmore classic, she remarks, "Have you any idea why the price is so high? I remember that the book was remaindered and sold at 35 cents per copy at the most. I'd be glad to get hold of a few copies of the following: Crawford, P. The Blot: little city cat." Interesting that she needs copies of her own first book. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15515

E.M. Ward [Henrietta Mary Ada] Autograph Letters Signed (2) circa 1860's London 2 notes, both measuring about 4.5 x 7 inches were apparently once mounted with one note completely backed and second note partially backed. Content mostly to verso. Corner missing to one note. See photos for condition details. Overall Good Condition. Henrietta Ward (1832-1909) was born into a family of artists and would marry an artist, Edward Matthew Ward (no relation) at the age of 16, in 1848. Some contemporaries would write her name as "Henrietta Mary Ada Ward Ward." The Wards socialized in an artistic and literary world calling C.L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Charles Dickens and George Cruikshank friends. Henrietta gained favor of the Royals as she gave art lessons to several of the royal children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Her works widely exhibited, and she authored two autobiographical memoirs. Her husband was known for his historical works and was commissioned to paint eight canvases for the House of Commons in 1843. By the late 1870's Edward Matthew Ward was battling depression and committed suicide in January 1879. These two manuscript notes are signed "EM Ward" and are posted from Kent Villa, Lansdowne Road, Kensington. The notes are addressed to Mr. Lefevre and Mr. Jepheries sp? with both being short social notes. Included will be a typed annotation from a collector/dealer giving much history on the Wards.
