Charles Dickens Twice-Signed CDV
Very scarce carte-de-visite photograph of Charles Dickens with his Charles Dickens autograph upon the lower margin with his usual paraph emphasizing the signature, and again signed upon the verso. Photograph, circa early 1860’s shortly after the publication of “Great Expectations,” is by the photography studio of John & Charles Watkins, with the backstamp showing their 34 Parliament Street address. Photograph captures a somewhat disheveled Dickens in a contrast of both casual and formal attire, standing by an ornate table. It was during Dickens’ lifetime that photography became accessible to most people, although the ability to sign a photograph, such as this, wasn’t available until the invention of the carte-de-visite printed upon paper. The CDV format became popular during the 1860’s, just years before Dickens’ death in 1870. As a result, this signed photograph by Dickens came at a brief intersection of the author’s life and growing photo technology, making it very scarce. CDV measures 2.5″ x 4″. In very good condition with light soiling. Dark Charles Dickens autograph. Sold for $10,251.86.
Marcel Proust autograph letter signed spanning seven pages, penned while writing his magnum opus, ”In Search of Lost Time”, as indicated in the letter. Proust writes at the end of 1909 to Max Daireaux, a man 13 years his junior whom he had met the year before in Cabourg, France; Cabourg was the inspiration for the resort town of Balbec in Proust’s novel. In this letter, Proust comes across as rather animated, clearly conscious of how his words will be interpreted by Daireaux, whom he lightly chastises for not visiting him, and ”wonders why did you never come?” He also expresses his desire to help Daireaux in his professional literary pursuits. Seven page letter is written in black ink on four sheets of paper, each measuring 5.25” x 7.125”. Letter has been documented in Kolb’s archive of Proust letters, Vol. IX, number 126. Toning to a few pages, and horizontal folds, overall very good plus condition. Sold for $4,688.
Marcel Proust Autograph Letter Signed From 1909 — “…I can no longer recall if I had dreamed of such a letter, or if it came in reality…”
Marcel Proust autograph letter signed, written in May 1909 to Max Daireaux, a man 13 years his junior whom he had met the year before in Cabourg, France; Cabourg was the inspiration for the resort town of Balbec in Proust’s novel “In Search of Lost Time”. In this letter, Proust is unsure whether he received a letter or only dreamt of receiving it, and asks Daireaux what he should do. Letter reads in part, “Dear friend / I am so exhausted these days that it has produced in me this bizarre phenomenon that you will perhaps understand (because you are very intelligent!): as I distractedly open my correspondence, sometimes, if a letter rolls off my bed without my responding to it, I can no longer recall if I had dreamed of such a letter, or if it came in reality. For, several days later I see in my mind’s eye a letter: Baroness d’Eichtel will… Did I dream it? Did I receive this letter? I am leaning toward it being a dream, but I cannot be sure, and since I recall that you had spoken to me of this lady, I am now writing to, quite stupidly, ask you: Did I dream? If I dreamt, in God’s name, do not think that this is a trick in order to be invited to this lady’s morning or evening receptions. I rise from bed about once every 2 months and would not be able to visit her. But if by chance this was real, tell me what I should do. Postcards? (where?)… A letter?… A copy of The Bible of Amiens? Flowers? (I imagine not!)… Anything but going there, as I am ill… And the Figaro? And Caillavet?… And Cabourg? (I am quite afraid that I will not be able to go.) It would do me well. But to leave! What will the little Berthier ladies become? / Your Marcel Proust” Four page letter is written in black ink on card-style bifolium stationery measuring 8.875″ x 6.75″ unfolded. Letter has been documented in Kolb’s archive of Proust letters, Vol. IX, number 54. Light toning and horizontal fold, overall very good plus condition. Sold for $3,876.
