réf. 68-0953Paris France: Academie Francaise ca. 1950. B&W Photograph. 18 x 24 cm. Very Good. Provenance:From the archives of the celebrated bookstore and literary salon Herckenrath on Veldstraat in Ghent Gand Belgium. Founded by the writer Adolf Herckenrath 1879-1958 in 1909; continued by his son Walter Herckenrath 1907- 1989 and by Walter’s children Guy and Helga Herckenrath until around 2000….Poète dramaturge libraire et éditeur. Adolf Herckenrath est entré dans l' histoire en tant qu'ami d'enfance pour lequel Karel van de Woestijne a écrit son Laethemsche Brieven sur Lente 1901… À partir de novembre 1909 Herckenrath résida dans la Veldstraat où il conserva la librairie Adolf Hoste et une fois l'université devenue bilingue principalement consacré à la littérature francophone. Entre les deux guerres mondiales Herckenrath était toujours actif en tant que professeur et membre du conseil d'administration de l'académie de théâtre de Gand pour laquelle un magazine De Tooneelschool 1937-1940 avait également été fondé. Il aida à fonder Pan le cercle de la littérature flamande orientale en 1938… En 1935 Herckenrath s'installa dans la villa 't Kersouwken sur l'Eikeldreef à Sint-Martens-Latem. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale il y résidera officiellement pendant quelques mois de mai à novembre 1944. Il est ensuite retourné dans sa librairie de la Veldstraat où il vivrait au moins officiellement jusqu'à sa mort. Après la guerre sa librairie a été reconstruite par le célèbre architecte Geo Henderick. Grâce à la continuation de son fils Walter et de ses petits-enfants Guy et Helga le nom Herckenrath a également survécu jusqu'à la fermeture de l'entreprise à la mi-2000.
