EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an autograph postcard written by the renowned poet Guillaume Apollinaire to Jean Mollet, dated 16 September 1915. The delicate pen and ink artwork on the postcard showcases Apollinaire's distinctive handwriting, adding a personal touch to this historical artifact. In his message, Apollinaire mentions various literary figures of the time, including Andre Billy, Renee Dupuy, and Andre Salmon. He describes Billy as "very nice" and expresses his admiration for him. Dupuy's ignorance amazes him while he finds Dupont pleasant like a Zouave soldier. Salmon seems to have done something peculiar in Echo magazine. The postcard offers us a glimpse into the milieu of writers during the early 20th century. It reveals not only their professional interactions but also their personal relationships and opinions about one another. Apollinaire signs off with a heartfelt goodbye to Jean Mollet, urging him to write back soon. This autographed correspondence is a testament to the close-knit literary community of that era. Preserved in private collection until now, this rare piece of memorabilia provides an intimate connection with one of France's most influential poets. Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era when handwritten letters were cherished forms of communication among intellectuals. This print serves as both a visual delight and a valuable historical document that allows us to delve into the world of literature from over a century ago.
