Description
Alfred ROLL (1846–1919), French painter and sculptor. Set of 2 signed autograph letters, addressed to Mr Achille, a bookseller in Paris (slight creases and fingerprints). - 2 October [19]09. One page, in-12 format. The painter wishes to purchase the Bible offered by the bookseller, but enquires about the size of the typeface, asking that it not be too fine, ‘[…] you will recall that this is a serious requirement for me’. - [Paris, postmark probably from 1910]. Letter. He requests one of Metchnikoff’s books for the same day, ‘(the cheapest of his books), the appeal of which will be that it is signed by him’.
