About This Item
Marly de Roi, France. Good with no dust jacket. 1867. Non-Book. On offer is a letter which was written and signed by the French dramatist, Victorien Sardou (1831-1908). The letter is written to an unknown recipient. It is undated but assumed to be circa 1867. Blind embossed are the letters VS and Marly de Roi, where Sardou lived [this is the same place as Alexandre Dumas]. The letter reads: "I thank you very much my dear neighbour, I am going to take advantage of your advice. I have not answered earlier because Madame Sardou is quite unwell and for 48 hours, I have not had time to think of anything other than her illness. Please accept, my dear neighbour, for both you and Madame de Breval, my most attentive regards, (signed) Victorien Sardou." BIO NOTES: Sardou married his benefactress, Mlle Helene de Brécourt, in 1858 but eight years later (1866) he became a widower. Victorien Sardou was a French dramatist. He is best remembered today for his development, along with Eugène Scribe, of the well-made play. He also wrote several plays that were made into popular 19th-century operas such as La Tosca (1887) on which Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca (1900) is based, and Fedora by Umberto Giordano, a work that popularized the fedora hat as well. The letter is one page, 8vo. No date, circa 1867 on his personal letterhead. Overall G. French language. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author .
