| | Line-cut of two Chopin autograph letters,
in
French, from the immense holdings of the Musée Royal de
Mariemont (the museum’s treasures were amassed under the patronage of
four generations of the 19th-c. industrial Warocque family; Raoul
Warocque in particular gave the institution approximately 5,000
autograph letters). The first is written to Józef Elsner,
Chopin’s teacher, and is dated 29 August 1826; the second, a card,
mentions a sonata and was written to an unknown addresse in 1845.
Includes tipped in facsimile of the first known portrait of Chopin
painted around 1829 by Ambroise Mieroszewski. With introduction in Fr.
Limited edition of 505 copies. Wrappers. $45 | |  | |
