Charles-Olivier MERSON (1822–1902), French painter and art c - Lot 139
Charles-Olivier MERSON (1822–1902), French painter and art critic, father of the painter Luc-Olivier Merson. Signed autograph letter addressed to photographer Étienne Carjat (1828–1906), as indicated by the handwritten address on the reverse (fold marks, slight creases). “My old friend, the article you may have read in last night’s *L’Opinion* is incomplete. Since it was a bit too long for the space allotted to it, they cut it off above the knee. It was Mr. Maleskine (?)—remember that name well, for it belongs to a pedant—who carried out (i.e., carried out?) the execution [...]. There is a known photograph of Charles-O. Merson taken by Carjat.
