Charvin, Marie Léonide (known as Agar), French actress (1832-1891).
Two autograph letters signed "Agar". Paris and n. p. o. d., 4. VII. 1877.
8vo and 12mo. Together 6 pp. on bifolia. The dated letter was sent to a M. Nègre with an order of "six litres of lavender water. 3 litres of very good rose water. 4° a small tinplate pot with good jasmin-pomade. 5° a larger flacon of jasmine essence" and an apology for charging Nègre "always with a thousand annoyances" (transl.). Agar apparently knew this perfume merchant well, as the letter is very personal in nature: "I do not know if I will have the pleasure to see you this winter, my return to the Comédie-Française will most likely keep me from going so far. Voilà, my regrets because I had so much sympathy for your admirable country that it is not without sadness that I have to renounce it". In closing, she invites the recipient to dinner in Paris and sends greetings to his wife. - The second letter probably dates to 1877/78, as it bears a reference to the role of Agrippina in Racine's "Britannicus", which Agar successfully performed at the Comédie-Française upon her return in 1878. The short letter was written to her "Cher et Illustre Maître", possibly the director of the Comédie, with an ultimatum for her return to the stage: "Alas! I cannot see it coming!! and I will not leave you alone so that you torment them, because time passes and we do not rehearse and we will play in the heat and we will not make money and we will be kicked out and and and... I would have committed [?] to the 4 volumes. Our minister is too good [...], finally I want to play, arrange yourself as you wish. This is my ultimatum!! - I am forever devoted and grateful to you. Your Agrippina that dies from not dying every evening". - Agar was ostracized from the stage of the Comédie for over six years because of her participation in a concert that had been organized by the government of the Paris Commune on 6 May 1871. Her return was triumphant; however, when she was not named Sociétaire by the end of 1878, Agar turned her back on the Comédie-Française until 1885. The not entirely clear reference to a minister in the letter might be in connection with the political aspect of the affair. - The letter to Nègre on stationery of a theatre or theatre school "Représentations du répertoire classique - (5e année)". The undated letter with an embossed monogram "A". The letter to Nègre with tears to the fold, pinholes, and some browning to the margins. The undated letter with minor stains.

Chase, George H.; Museum of Fine Arts
Catalogue of Arretine Pottery
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1916. First Edition. Hardback. Fine. Archaeology Ancient Roman pottery Arretine pottery Terra sigillata Arezzo Tuscan pottery. At about the same time the Roman Republic became an empire and that empire started to expand north out of Italy and the Mediterranean basin the town of Arezzo in Tuscany started to develop a new industry—pottery or more specifically tableware. The pots that were soon known as “Arretine ware†weren’t dull-as-literally-dirt cups and bowls with nothing to distinguish them but neither were they the exquisitely painted works of art we may be familiar with from Greek vases. Instead these were glossy red dishes of all types with raised figures and geometric patterns on the outside and often incised patterns on the inside mass produced attractive to the eye and yet sturdy enough to be of real use. The pieces seemed to replicate far more expensive metal cups and bowls that would have been out of the reach of most people—if one couldn’t afford a decorative silver wine goblet then pretty and unusual red pottery must have seemed like the next best thing. Arretine ware became extremely popular with the people of the new parts of the empire all the more so because the decoration often told mythical Roman stories or at least illustrated Roman themes. Centuries later it became popular with collectors. It also became useful to archaeologists who could use it to date sites not the least because pieces were often signed by their makers. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston was one of the first museums to build a serious collection of such pottery and this is one of the first published catalogs written and edited by a scholar in the field of such a collection. Published in 1916 the Museum of Fine Arts’ “Catalogue of Arretine Pottery†written by Charles H. Chase contains 32 photographic plates of bowls cups fragments and molds and one drawing. Given the time the catalog was produced it is understandable that thirty of the photographs are black and white but two are reproduced in red replicating the red of the Arettine clay.<br /> <br /> Our first-edition copy is in remarkable condition considering its age. It is hardbound with brown cloth boards and a green-brown fabric-covered spine that has a pasted paper label. There is some light soiling on the covers and minor bumping on the corners and the top and bottom of the spine. There is what looks like an ink smear on the back of Plate III which is a blank page; it does not affect the facing page which is also blank. Otherwise there are no marks or even foxing anywhere on the interior of the book though the deckled pages of text that precede the plates show the expected age tanning which does not interfere in the least with the readability of the text. The binding is still quite solid square and tight and none of the pages are loose or have any tears. Photos forthcoming or immediately on request. Houghton Mifflin Company unknown
