Description
Juliette DROUET (1806-1883) - Actress and famous friend of Victor HUGO, whose companion she was for almost fifty years. Copy in Juliette DROUET's handwriting of a letter from Victor HUGO, dated 26 April 1838, probably addressed to Count Etienne Maurice GÉRARD, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, at the time of the annual awards ceremony. It is a long letter in which Victor Hugo wishes to bring to the attention of those responsible for the nominations the merits and attachment to royalty of the journalist and historian Bernard GRANIER de CASSAGNAC: "No one has deserved better than he the Cross of St. Louis of writers; If, as I hope, our wishes in this circumstance are heeded, I shall be happy, Monsieur le Comte, to owe you a personal thank you Victor Hugo". Expert: Mario Mordente
