Beschreibung

8vo and oblong 8vo. Together 3½ pp. The earliest letter in the collection is dated 18 April 1848. According to a collector's note it was addressed to the painter and illustrator Eugène Lampsonius, known as Eustache Lorsay, asking him to draw the woman bearing the letter. On 10 April 1856, Tisserant wrote to a friend named Eustache, probably Lorsay, announcing that a stone (most likely a lithography stone) would be sent to him and asking him for a meeting in that matter: "On va vous poster une pierre. Dites moi, par un mot, jeté à la poste, si vous pourrez, me donner de 3h ½ à 5h ½. Si vous pouviez venir chez moi cela me serait bien plus comode, j'ai tant à faire. Vous dineriez chez moi. Dans tous les cas, je compte sur un mot pour faire poster la pierre chez moi ou chez vous [.]". - In a letter from 11 June 1866, Tisserant asks the recipient for two tickets at the Opéra Le Peletier on behalf of his son. - The document in the collection is an acceptance of the discharge of a rent contract, dated 30 April 1874: "J'accepte de Mr Bouquin [.], le congé qu'il me donne de l'appartement qu'il occupe dans ma maison 48 rue de la Tour d'auvergne, pour le 1ier Janvier 1874". - The son of a gardener had originally trained as a porcelain painter until he joined a travelling theatre ensemble. In 1837, he was engaged at the Théâtre du Gymnase, soon rising to be one of its principal actors. Successful engagements at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin and the Odéon followed. - The letter dated 11 June 1866 on stationery with embossed monogram. Traces of folds, some browning, and minor tears overall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 58368
