Embossed stamp and a trace of a stamp. Transverse folds from having been sent. In this letter dated January 1914 and addressed to the Ministry of Worship the sculptor requests authorisation to bring some of his sculptures to Romania for the exhibition of the ""Tinerimea Artistica"" company Artistic Youth. Brâncui was then in Paris as evidenced by his address: « 54 rue du Montparnasse ». A list of works was visibly attached to the letter but sadly has disappeared. This letter testifies to the close links maintained between Brâncui and the Romanian artists of the ""Tinerimea Artistica"" who since 1908 organized exhibitions bringing together paintings and sculptures. In March 1914 Brâncui presents six works including La Prière 1907 Le Baiser 1907-08 Mademoiselle Pogany 1913 at the fourteenth exhibition of this important artistic company. He was already a renowned sculptor at that time: the presence of five of his works at the Armory Show in New York 17 February – 15 March 1913 where his sculpture Mademoiselle Pogany caused a scandal due it its modernity at the side of Marcel Duchamp's Nu descendant un escalier and allowed him to become one of the major artists of the second decade of the 20th century. unknown

""You are not happy in love because you are self-interested - you are always looking for schemes instead of giving yourself without reserve or reservation! It's when one becomes a slave that one is truly happy!"" After many years spent in Greece Egypt and Rhodes the traveler-writer Lawrence Durrell was forced to flee Cyprus following popular uprisings that led the island to its independence from the British crown. Rich only in a shirt and a typewriter but crowned with the success of his novel Bitter Lemons of Cyprus he arrived in 1956 in France and settled in the Languedoc village of Sommières. In the ""maison Tartès"" his large house surrounded by trees he wrote the second part of his work his monumental Avignon Quintet devoted himself to painting and received his illustrious friends including the couple Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin violinist Yehudi Menuhin London publisher Alan G. Thomas and his two daughters Penelope and Sappho. Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun he met in the mid-1960s the young and sparkling ""Jany"" Janine Brun a thirty-something from Montpellier of devastating beauty who worked at the Department of Antiquities at the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed ""Buttons"" in memory of their first meeting when the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of ""Buttons"" praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional unpublished letters. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we retain precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell she made numerous trips notably to England from where she received extensive correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artistic pseudonym Oscar Epfs. unknown

[PRESIDENTIAL AUTOGRAPHS] JOHNSON, Lyndon Baines
Color photographic portrait inscribed to Cartha De Loach
No date or place but likely the LBJ Ranch Stonewall Texas ca. 1968. Original color photographic print 10.75" x 7.5" on 14" x 11" card mount; in gallery mat. Inscribed on mount beneath photo: "For Deke De Loach / with appreciation for his dedicated service" signed in Johnson's hand undated. Mild surface abrasions to image; mild soil to mount; photographer's serial stamp to verso of mount "5 JY 68 D897-35." Photographer unidentified but based on location and outfit likely taken during a 1968 photo session at the LBJ Ranch by Frank Wolfe LBJ's official White House photographer. An attractive large-format professional portrait of LBJ in casual dress kneeling in a pasture with his trademark Stetson resting on his knee. An excellent association; Cartha "Deke" De Loach was Deputy Associate Director of the FBI during the Hoover era and a close associate of LBJ's; in 1963 immediately after the assassination of John F. Kennedy Johnson had De Loach assigned to permanent duty at the White House. As described by New York Times reporter Tim Weiner "De Loach was always at L.B.J.'s beck and call night and day he was a talented political hatchet man a trusted deputy to Hoover. He was also crucial to intelligence investigations conducted during the Johnson presidency." Based on the tenor of the inscription we surmise that the portrait was presented to De Loach at the end of Johnson's presidency in 1968. unknown

Alphonse DAUDET
Lettre autographe à un membre du groupe littéraire d'Alphonse Daudet sans doute Émile Zola
1880. Fine. s. d. circa 1880 - une feuille Letter written in ink on Vergé paper without date or address. An old handwriting indicates the letter was addressed to Zola information that can not be verified. Daudet relates the impression that the publisher Georges Charpentier left him during a dinner. The importance of the friendly group formed by the writers of the time is here particularly pregnant: "" I want to write him a word to propose to come with us five "". Presumably written after the death of Jules Goncourt probably in the 1880s as suggested by the use of the only surname Goncourt the letter evokes a cold between Goncourt and Charpentier: "" Goncourt may not be delighted; but he is too well brought up to let him see . "" unknown
