Description
Henri EVENPOEL (1872–1899), Belgian painter. Autograph signed letter to Charles Masson, editor of *L'Estampe moderne* [as noted on the enclosed autograph envelope]. Blidah, 22 Dec[ember] 1897. One and a half pages, in-12 format (slight crease marks where folded into quarters). The painter acknowledges receipt of a payment sent by his correspondent and apologises for the delay in replying, which was caused by preparations for his solo exhibition in Brussels. He then reflects on his stay in Algeria: [...] So you have visited this charming Blidah and have fond memories of it? [...] I, too, am very enthusiastic about this marvellous sunshine and the Arabs, who are full of character! [...]”
