In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. D'ORSAY, Count Alfred (1801-1852). Autograph Letter Signed, to Madame Lefevre, introducing Mr Nicholson. Gore House, Saturday [c.1840s]. With the original autograph addressed envelope bearing D'Orsay's red wax seal. Single sheet, folded to 100 x 160 mm, written in French on the first…side only, with the original hand-addressed envelope to "Madame Lefevre, 30 Brook Street, Grosvenor Sq." The envelope retains D'Orsay's red wax seal to the reverse. Old folds, light age toning and opening wear to the envelope, otherwise a very good survival. D'Orsay writes from Gore House: "Voici Mr Nicholson qui comprendra tres bien toutes vos intentions" ("Here is Mr Nicholson who will understand all your intentions very well"), introducing Mr Nicholson to Madame Lefevre before closing "Votre tout devoue". Written from the celebrated Gore House, Kensington, home of Lady Blessington and one of the best-known literary and artistic salons of Victorian London, where D'Orsay stood at the centre of fashionable society. Frequented by leading figures including Dickens, Disraeli and Bulwer-Lytton, Gore House became synonymous with London's literary world during the 1830s and 1840s. Signed by Author(s).

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. D'ORSAY, Count Alfred (1801-1852). Autograph Letter Signed, inviting the recipient to an evening gathering of literary men to meet the American Minister. Prince's Square, Kensington Gardens, 18 July [c.1840s]. Single sheet, 115 x 180 mm, on embossed stationery of 13, Prince's Square,…Kensington Gardens, W., written on one side only. Old horizontal and vertical folds and a small trace of former mounting to the blank reverse, otherwise a very good example with a large, bold signature. D'Orsay writes: "Will you join a few literary men here on Monday 24th, at 10 p.m., to meet the American Minister." One of the great personalities of nineteenth-century London society, Count Alfred d'Orsay was a French aristocrat, artist and celebrated man of fashion whose circle centred upon Lady Blessington's salon at Gore House. His friends and acquaintances included many of the leading literary and political figures of the age, and this invitation reflects his role as a host bringing together writers and diplomats in fashionable Victorian London.

In den WarenkorbFraser's Magazine launched in London in February 1830, and to begin with its most popular feature was Maginn's 'Gallery of Illustrious Literary Characters', with illlustrations by Maclise (collected in book form in 1873). The four portraits, all busts, are somewhat reminiscent of those in that work, but must be earlier if the id…entification of John Nichol, who died in 1828, is correct. The four are on separate pieces of paper, laid down 2 X 2 (with the four sitters looking inwards towards the centre of the page) on a leaf torn from an album. They are certainly originals, one at least done in sepia, with pencil outlines visible under the ink. The condition of three of the portraits is good, but the third described below (possibly D'Orsay) is somewhat foxed. Clockwise from top left, they are a bespectacled figure, tentatively identified as John Nichols (on paper 12 x 7.5 cm); a complacent individual reading a book, possibly Percival Bankes or Maginn himself (12 x 8.5 cm); another complacent individual, with too much chin and bottom lip, possibly Count D'Orsay, William Jerdan or David Moir (13 x 9 cm); and finally a portly figure looking uncommonly like Theodore Hook (12 x 8 cm). On the reverse is a lithographic print, on india paper (23.5 x 18.5 cm), looking very much like a pencil drawing, being a full-length portrait of an old bespectacled gentleman in profile, reading 'Cobbet's [sic]' newspaper, dressed in an old-fashioned cutaway jacket and hessian boots, with his dog behind him. In the bottom right-hand corner is 'Ob. October 1852 Aet 86 No. 1852'. See Image.

In den WarenkorbTwo etchings in black ink, printed side by side on a 23.5 x 18 cm piece of wove paper, with a thin printed line dividing them. Possibly proofs of two plates on conjoined leaves in a book. In fair condition, lightly aged and creased, with a tiny nick at foot and dog-eared corners. Each of the sketches is full-length, and has a ca…ption at foot, in a facsimile of D'Orsay's hand. To the left, 11.5 x 18 cm, is 'Pce Talleyrand | Sketched by D'Orsay', depicting Talleyrand, in left profile, with outdoor coat and hat in trailing left hand, his right hand resting on a walking stick and his crippled right leg slightly raised. To the right, 12 x 18 cm, is 'Cte Montrond | Sketched by D'Orsay', depicting a portly Montrond with back to the viewer, sitting astride a plain chair, with playing cards in his left hand held up to his face. Unusual. The two etching are in the British Museum Department of Prints and Drawings, both donated by Michael Hoadley, the Talleyrand with Museum Number E.118-1980, and the Montrond with Museum Number E.117-1980. Neither description states whether or not they are on the same piece of paper, as with the present item. See the frontispiece to Linda Kelly's book 'Talleyrand in London': 'Le prince de Talleyrand & Mr Montrond jouant au whist fait par le comte Alfred d'Orsay', which is dated to 1831.

In den Warenkorb4pp., 8vo. Bifolium. In very good condition, lightly-aged. Neatly placed with a windowpane mount onto a leaf of cream paper. Writing within a year of his demise, D'Orsay begins by defending himself to his attorney: 'My Dear Du Pasquier | You received my letter yesterday about Mousley. I could not act otherwise, and even I have n…o right to complain when a man is losing more than 5000 by me, to find fault that he did not send me £1300. I am astonished that you are so severe. I am sorry that you will not give your assistance in this affair. Do as you like. I said to Mousley that I would not act without you, now you release me of my word, I have written to him that I will sign the Deed when he chooses.' He now turns to 'Simonnet', who has drawn a cheque on Pasquier without notice, as he is 'embarrassed in his affairs'. Regarding a 'difference in the account' he explains: 'You do not calculate, the Models, of the Queen, and the Wellington and Lions, which are still in his hands, and which are belonging to you, when you call for them.' The 'Second Wellington' has arrived at the custom house and is 'much better, according to your taste, as it is done au R and you are wrong not to take it, as I am sure the Duke would take one. - The head is admirable. ' he asks if Pasquier 'had the Reins & & of the Queen changed by Matifal. You ought if it is not done. - The End of all this, will be that I will be obliged to buy all these things you refuse from Simonnet - Thats Comfortable for me!!' The letter continues with a reference to 'Reid's business', 'Davis' and 'Ford': 'Yes they can annoy me here, not arresting my person, but make Trials, and possibly obtain judgment to sell my Effects, and if one English Creditor begun, [sic] there is no reason why others would not go on.' He consequently asks him to do all he can 'with Morel'. He concludes with a reference to a 'Nephew' who is 'in London to bring me back the powder'.

Mais si vous tenez a les Etonner magnetiquement, cela vo…us coutera 5£. allez chez Mr Marcillet qui demeure Maddox St. No. 5. fixez le jour d'une seance pour voir Alexis [a clairvoyant. See Notes below], dites que vous venez de ma part et vous conviendrez avec moi, que ce garcon bouleverse le monde de fond encomble. Tout a vous | d'Orsay". Translation provided on request.Note: a. Elliotson, John, 1791-1868, distinguished professor of medicine, for example "He was always at the 'leading edge' of his profession: he was one of the first in Britain to use and promote the stethoscope, and one of the first to use acupuncture" [see Wikipedia]; b. [Marcillet] A website on "The Orphic Circle Meets At Craven Cottage" suggest that Elliotson and Marcillet were involved in Spiritualism ("The Orphic Circle Meets At Craven Cottage") as does this letter by d'Orsay. "Alexis was a French boy" -- Alexis was Alexis Didier, the clairvoyant controlled by J.B. Marcillet, whom Dickens first encountered at John Elliotson's (or was it at Craven Cottage?) and subsequently raved of in his correspondence as "the Magnetic Boy". We are clearly seeing here a glimpse of Didier as a child, during his first stint in London in 1844.".

In den WarenkorbMemorable French dilettante artist, famed fop and hanger-on, a legendary man of fashion and society wit who befriended royalty and nobility as well as Lord Byron and Benjamin Disraeli. Third person ALS, 1p, 4½" X 7" (lightly tipped to heavy stock album leaf), n.p., 1844 February 23. Very good. Lightly age toned. Interesting thir…d-person note signed twice within the text. In part: "Count D'Orsay presents his compliments to Mr Crowley and thanks him very much for the Etching, which is admirable -- Mr Landseer Saw it, and is quite delighted with it. Count D'Orsay remembers very well, having had the pleasure of being introduced to Mr Crowley by Prince Napoleon." Recipient is most likely Nicholas Joseph Crowley (1819-57), well known IRish portrait painter who resided in London. Landseer of course refers to Edwin Landseer (1802-73), English artist famed for his paintings and sculptures of animals. d'Orsay was well known as a fanatical supporter of all things Bonaparte. Prince Louis Napoleon (later Emperor Napoleon III) was often hosted at d'Orsay's fashionable residence in London, and it may have been during one of these visits that the Prince introduced d'Orsay to Crowley. Quite handsome letter, signed two times in the third person, with interesting references.
