"So how are you doing, dear friend? I am worried about your silence, I would go ask you if I were not restrained by sad affairs, so please tell Monsieur the count that I also complain about not seeing him, he would always find me between three and five o'clock, I would be delighted to see him and would thus hear from you – with a thousand tender greetings…"

Description:
BENNETT, JAMES GORDON, JR. (1841-1914). Editor of the New York Herald. TLS. With a lengthy, signed holograph postscript. (Signed twice: "J.G. Bennett"). 2pp. 4to. Paris, September 21, 1889. On Avenue des Champs Elysees stationery. To American journalist, diplomat and popularizer of canoeing WILLIAM LIVINGSTONE ALDEN (1837-1908).
"Enclosed please find a letter from 'Herr Pistor' of Austria, who pitches into the Herald right and left. I thought I would send it to you as one of your happily conceived Editorials treating it very much as the 'Herr Festersen of Bâle' was treated, would be conducive to a great deal of fun. Put them both 'in a blanket and toss them up.'

I also enclose to you a cutting from the Journal de Genève. It was the Journal de Genève you remember that fired the first gun against your Editorial on Switzerland. You might consequently write an Editorial in reply to, or rather commenting upon, this cutting from the Journal de Genève. I wish to congratulate you on the excellent… Read More

Description:
STEINBERG, SAUL. (1914-1999). Romanian-American artist best known for his illustrations in The New Yorker. SP. ("Saul Steinberg"). 1p. Folio. N.p., N.d. A black-and-white Pach Brothers bust portrait of Steinberg signed in blue ink in Steinberg's idiosyncratic hand on the lower photographer's mount.
While studying architecture in Italy, Steinberg began his career as a cartoonist, contributing to European periodicals and publishing his first New Yorker drawing in 1941 while waiting for a visa to enter the U.S. His subsequent contribution to The New Yorker was immense and included hundreds of drawings, 85 covers and an unmistakable style that has since become synonymous with the publication. Although he was embraced by the art world, Steinberg never forsook magazine illustration, working for The New Yorker for almost six decades.
Founded in 1867, Pach Brothers was, until its closing in 1993, the nation's oldest photography studio.
In fine condition. Very rare in this format!

Bade[n], 1869. In French with translation on stationery blind-embossed with his initials.

"S'occuper c'est savoir jouir
L'oisiveté pèse et tourmente;
L'âme est un feu, qu'il faut nourrir
Et qui s'éteint, s'il ne s'augmente"
[Translation:]
"To keep busy is to know how to enjoy
Idleness weighs and torments;
The soul is a fire, which must be fed
And which goes out, if it does not grow"Following his education in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Turgenev left for Berlin to study philosophy and history at the university where he became enamored of Germany and its development since the Age… Read More
