Victor Emanuel Ii (Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso) and Dr Leone Levi
C1867 Ephemeral Collection and Manuscript Content Connected to King of Sardinia and Italy Victor Emmanuel II and British Jurist Leone Levi
Italy. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1867. Non-Book. On offer is a collection of ephemeral items connected to Dr. Leone Levi's 1821-1888 1867 trip to Italy. The featured piece of this collection is the signature of King of Sardinia and Italy Victor Emmanuel II Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso 1820-1878. The first piece in this collection is the signature of Victor Emmanuel II clipped from a document. Undated c.1867. This collection also includes five other pieces involving Dr. Leone Levi visit to Italy in 1867. These are: a letter from the Minister of Agriculture dated 2nd Oct. 1867; a program of the musical 'Della guardia Nazionale al Pranzo di S. M. I1 Re nel R. Palazzo Pitti' and a single page menu both with the date Oct. 5 1867; with a printed. Invitation to the 'II Preffo del Palazzo d' Ordine di Sua Maesta. With an Italian sonnet written in Leone Levi's hand. BIO NOTES: Victor Emanuel II Vittorio Emanuele Maria Alberto Eugenio Ferdinando Tommaso 1820-1878 King of Sardinia from 1849 until on 17 March 1861 he assumed the title King of Italy to become the first king of United Italy since the 6th century a title he held until his death in 1878. The Italians gave him the epithet Father of the Homeland Padre de/la Patria. Dr. Leone Levi was professor of Commercial Law in King's College London. Leone Levi was an English jurist and statistician. Born to a Jewish family in Ancona Italy he worked in commerce there before emigrating to Liverpool in 1844. There he obtained British citizenship and joined the Presbyterian church. At the time English law regarding the establishment of local chambers of commerce was highly unsystematic and wanting. He therefore advocated their institution in numerous pamphlets leading to the establishment of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in 1849 with Levi as its secretary. In 1850 he published his Commercial Law of the World an exhaustive comparative treatise upon the laws and codes of mercantile countries. Appointed in 1852 to the chair of commercial law at King's College London he was a popular instructor who innovated evening classes. Levi was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1859 and a doctorate in political science from the University of Tübingen. His chief work History of British Commerce and of the Economic Progress of the British Nation 1763-1870 is considered to be a partisan account of British economic development but its value as a work of reference cannot be gainsaid. His other works include: Work and Pay; Wages and Earnings of the Working Classes; and International Law with Materials for a Code. Quoted from Wikipedia. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 5 pages; Signed by Author . unknown

"j'en profite pour mener ma femme à une petite sauterie en mascarade chez Nodier"" Signed autograph letter addressed to his friend H. de Cambier
Paris 1830. Fine. Paris s. d. ca 1830 12 x 18.50 cm 1 page Autograph letter signed by Victor Hugo to his friend H. de Cambier 20 lines written in black ink on a bifolium autograph address on the verso of the final leaf. Splendid and likely unpublished letter from Victor Hugo inviting his correspondent to the famed Romantic 'Cénacle' gatherings at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal a veritable literary institution in the 1830's. ""This Saturday the 6th I noticed the other evening Sir that you expressed with some regret not having a ball to attend on Sunday tomorrow. Now I have managed to arrange my guard duty so as to be free tomorrow from nine o'clock to midnight alas I could not obtain more than six hours and I am taking advantage of it to take my wife to a small masquerade party at Nodier's. If you would like to come with us we would be delighted and Nodier too. To do so you would need to be at my home at nine o'clock the hour I myself will return. Answer me this morning and believe in all my friendship. Vr Hugo."" ""In the drawing room of the Arsenal library where he had been head librarian since 1824 Charles Nodier hosted every Sunday evening the entire Romantic literary and artistic elite during the final years of the Restoration and the early years of the July Monarchy. In addition to Hugo one of the most regular attendees and later Musset Dumas and Balzac the salon gathered ""representatives of all the book professions from conception to illustration publication and criticism . in a friendly and convivial atmosphere"" Marta Sukiennicka. Hugo invites his correspondent to a masked ball held on one of those celebrated Sundays. Far from being a mere social occasion the 'Cénacle of the Arsenal' salon was one of the most vibrant centers of the Romantic movement. Having succeeded in excusing himself from his National Guard duties he was a sub-lieutenant in 1830 Hugo had likely arranged for a replacement to take his watch that evening; even the most illustrious of writers were not exempt from such military service. A few years later Balzac dodged his National Guard shifts and was imprisoned twice in 1836 and 1839. unknown

Victor HUGO - Adele HUGO
"Mon exil est comme voisin de son tombeau et je vois distinctement sa grande âme hors de ce monde"" Autograph letter signed to the widow of the sculptor David d'Angers
Hauteville House Hauteville House 1856. Fine. Hauteville House Hauteville House 11 et 13 mai 1856 14 x 21.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Victor Hugo dated 13 May 1856 following an unpublished letter from Madame Victor Hugo to Madame David d'Angers dated 11 May. 4 pages on a folded sheet with watermark ""Barbet Smith Street Guernesey"". Published in Correspondance de Victor Hugo Paris year 1856 p. 246 In this letter imbued with the apparitions and specters that haunt the recently published Contemplations Victor Hugo addresses the widow of his great friend the sculptor David d'Angers fervent republican and artist particularly admired by the Romantics. In the midst of a mystical crisis Hugo speaks to the shadow of the sculptor to whom he dedicated sublime poems in Les feuilles d'automne as well as Les rayons et les ombres and requests from his widow his favorite portrait a marble bust once sculpted by David d'Angers. After the expulsion of the exiles from the island of Jersey Victor Hugo purchased Hauteville House thanks to the success of Contemplations and sadly learned of the death of a dear friend. He writes to the sculptor's widow on the same sheet as his wife Adèle also connected with the family of David d'Angers creator of a medallion in her likeness: ""You are the widow of our great David d'Angers and you are his worthy widow as you were his worthy wife"". The renowned sculptor had already formed bonds at Nodier's first romantic salon at the Arsenal and visited Hugo almost daily in the late 1820s in the Bonapartist and good-natured atmosphere of rue Notre-Dame des Champs in the company of the Devéria brothers Sainte-Beuve Balzac Nanteuil and Delacroix. In 1828 the writer had happily posed in David d'Angers' studio on rue de Fleurus for a medallion then a bust which had been followed by two sublime poems celebrating the sculptor's talent in Les Feuilles d'Automne and Les rayons et les ombres. Of all his numerous portraits he cherished above all others his marble bust signed David d'Angers and does not hesitate to request it from his widow: ""Before long perhaps madame my family will ask you to return this bust which is my figure which is little but which is a masterpiece by David which is everything. It is him even more than me and that is why we want to have it among us"". From these posing sessions with the sculptor arose fruitful aesthetic and political conversations where their common aversion to the death penalty was affirmed. They witnessed the chaining of galley slaves who were joining Toulon from Paris described by Hugo in two chapters of Dernier jour d'un condamné. A victim of exile like Hugo David d'Angers had returned to Paris before joining the world of the dead: ""My exile is like neighbor to his tomb and I see distinctly his great soul outside this world as I see his great life in the stern history of our time"". The ""great life"" of David d'Angers was devoted to shaping the effigies of illustrious men through a subtle balance of resemblance and idealization. The sculptor finally takes his place in Victor Hugo's personal pantheon he who had adorned the pediment of the true Pantheon of great men where the writer rests today: ""David is today a figure of memory a renown of marble an inhabitant of the pedestal after having been its craftsman. Today death has consecrated the man and the sculptor is statue. The shadow he casts upon you madame gives your life the form of glory"". It was indeed in the shadow of great men that Hugo lived his exile in Jersey far from the tumult of the capital and in the silence punctuated by sea spray striking the windowpanes. Hugo had plunged into the occult and spoke to the departed: ""David is one of the shadows to whom I speak most often shadow myself"" he declares recalling the final poem of Contemplations ""Ce que dit la bouche d'ombre"" dictated to the poet through the spiritualist process of ""turning tables"". Then at the height of their popularity the tables were practice unknown

Original manuscript and earlier version of Victor Hugo's poem published as Écrit sur le tombeau d'un petit enfant au bord de la mer Baby's seaside grave in Les Rayons et les Ombres XXXVIII Paris Delloye 1840. Hugo wrote this magnificent eulogy in memory of his great friend Auguste Vacquerie's young nephew who died at the age of four years and ten months. The poet had promised a poetic epitaph and personally addressed this manuscript to Vacquerie: Take these verses if you still want them for the tomb of this dear little one Letter to Vacquerie January 21 1840. As Joseph Petrus Christiaan de Boer pointed out There is no sorrow Hugo understood and expressed more delicately than the immense grief that fills the hearts of parents upon the death of a child Victor Hugo et l'enfant 1933 p. 48-49. This poem is the first of a sublime macabre series composed on the occasion of the numerous tragedies suffered by the families of both Victor Hugo and his friend Auguste Vacquerie. The most famous will be Demain dès l'aube. written after the untimely death of Hugo's beloved daughter Léopoldine who drowned alongside Auguste Vacquerie's brother Charles on September 4 1843 shortly after their marriage. Hugo wrote these verses for Charles-Emile Lefèvre the young child of Vacquerie's sister who had succumbed to sudden illness on November 6 1839. On January 21 1840 Hugo sent this manuscript to Vacquerie which includes a variation from the final version published by Delloye on May 16 of the same year: « Vieux lierre frais gazon herbe roseaux corolles ; Église où l'esprit voit le Dieu qu'il rêve ailleurs ; mouches qui murmurez d'ineffables paroles A l'oreille du pâtre assoupi dans les fleurs ; Vents flots hymne orageux chur sans fin voix sans nombre ; Bois qui faites songer le passant sérieux ; fruits qui tombez de l'arbre impénétrable et sombre ; Étoiles qui tombez du ciel mystérieux ; oiseaux aux cris joyeux vague aux rumeurs ' plaintes' in the published version profondes ; froid lézard des vieux murs dans les pierres tapi ; plaines qui répandez vos souffles sur les ondes ; Mer où la perle éclot terre où germe l'épi ; Nature d'où tout sort nature où tout retombe feuilles nids doux rameaux que l'air n'ose effleurer Ne faites pas de bruit autour de cette tombe ; Laissez l'enfant dormir et la mère pleurer. » ' Brown ivy old green herbage new; Soft seaweed stealing up the shingle; An ancient chapel where a crew Ere sailing in the prayer commingle. A far-off forest's darkling frown Which makes the prudent start and tremble Whilst rotten nuts are rattling down And clouds in demon hordes assemble. Land birds which twit the mews that scream Round walls where lolls the languid lizard; Brine-bubbling brooks where fishes stream Past caves fit for an ocean wizard. Alow aloft no lullall life But far aside its whirls are keeping As wishfully to let its strife Spare still the mother vainly weeping O'er baby lost not long a-sleeping.' tr. Nelson Rich Tyerman Hugo sent the manuscript with a touching letter: Here at last my poet is what I have kept you waiting for so stupidly long. . Take these verses if you still want them for the tomb of this dear little one . For my part I do not feel that I have repaid my debt to this angel with so little. I have begun something longer for him that I will one day lay at the feet of his poor mo unknown

""We called him Papapa. Legend has it - he surrounded us with legends! - that one morning at Hauteville House while he was working in that glass cage perched at the top of the house little Georges came in and said: - Hello Papapa! . To hear the son of his son Charles who had just died pronounce this unknown word the grandfather was overjoyed for he knew the secret language of children: Georges' stammer made him twice a father much more than a grandfather. . My name is Papapa now' he said softly. And until he died my sister and I called him by this dearest name which he always cherished"" Georges-Victor Hugo My Grandfather Mon grand-père Paris: Calmann-Lévy In 1871 after the tragic and unexpected death of his son Charles Victor Hugo became guardian of his two grandchildren Georges and Jeanne. From then on he played a large part in their upbringing and spent some of the happiest moments of his life with them reflected in the countless endearing notes about the two children in Choses vues Things Seen. Upon the death of his last son François-Victor he moved in with Georges and Jeanne's mother Alice at 21 rue de Clichy; on the floor below he lodged Juliette Drouet. This gave him plenty of time to spend with his ""little ones"" for whom he organized children's dinners and made plenty of toys. The children are the subject of his immensely popular poetry collection L'Art d'être grand-père 1877 The Art of Being a Grandfather. ""Its popularity was immediate and its success resounding so dazzling was his way of celebrating childhood by telling the story of Georges Jeanne and himself. By putting children's words into verse so naturally and freshly Georges et Jeanne's ""Papapa"" has succeeded like no other in exalting ""grandparental"" feelings. At home these feelings are not limited to allowing children to leave their toys lying around on manuscripts: when Alice remarried journalist and politician Édouard Lockroy' Simon contributor to Le Rappel Hugo opposed him sharing guardianship"" Sandrine Fillipetti Victor Hugo This inaugural volume of Actes et paroles Deeds and Words containing Victor Hugo's first major political texts is a poignant testimony to his humanist commitments. The ""little"" owners of this precious copy received their grandfather's intellectual and militant legacy: from his ""Discours de réception"" at the Académie française 1841 to his famous stance against Napoleon III ""Révision de la Constitution"" ""No! after Napoleon the Great I don't want Napoleon 'le Petit'!"" which led to his exile. At the heart of this compilation is a highly significant text ""For Charles Hugo. The death penalty"" delivered by Hugo before the Seine Assize Court in 1851 in de Michel Lévy frères hardcover
