About This Item
Prolific French writer, novelist, poet, essayist and literary critic, elected to the Académie Françoise in 1946; he was the son of noted French caricaturist Henri Henriot. IPS (in French), 8" X 11", n.p. [Chicago, IL], n.y. Good only. Heavy horizontal crack extends across bottom from ½" up from lower left edge to 2½" up from lower right edge, easily visible but not terribly disfiguring. Attractive sepia-tone closeup portrait of a youthful mustachioed Henriot, mat-finish and soft focus, gazing soulfully to upper right. Boldly inscribed and signed in black ink at upper left "a' l'Université / de Chicago," with lengthy inscription near bottom; aforementioned crack runs below this inscription and just above the signature, but touches neither. Full translation: "To the University / of Chicago / It's nice to know something the others / don't know; but it's even nicer / to know something without someone bragging about it," handsomely signed. NOT to be confused with the French chemist of the same name who was born a few years ahead of the writer and died the same year. Despite unfortunate crease, an appealing item.
