An Autograph Letter Signed by Max Jacob is accompanied by a beautiful b/w photographic portrait (cm 11 x 14) of the French artist and writer. This composition, in perfect condition, is mounted under passepartout, plexiglass, and gilded frame (cm 40.5 x 2 x 54.5).
The Autographis addressed to the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt. Paris, 55th Nollet Street. 20th June 1933. One page, single-sided (27 x 21 cm) on watermark paper “Paper made in Docelles”. In French. Excellent condition, except usual folds of paper.
The French poet, Max Jacob (1876-1944), writes this apology letter because he decines and misses the invitation “à la Sérenade”, a music night or musical events organized at the Countess’ Parisian residence.

Her Parisian and Roman salons was attended by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, Aldo Palazzeschi, Max Jacob and Victoria Ocampo!
