ALS in French, signed "H. de Toulouse Lautrec," two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, no date but circa 1894-1896. Letter to "My dear Marty." In full (translated): "The menus are quite well done and have a great success. Bravo for our Yvette. Send me the articles at the chateau of Malrome by Saint-Macaire, Gironde because I am leaving at any moment for Burgos and Madrid." Also includes an ALS by Yvette Guilbert. In fine condition.
Toulouse-Lautrec visited Spain in both 1894 and 1896, traveling to the cities of Burgos, Madrid, and Toledo. In 1894 he also produced an album of lithographs of the actress Yvette Guilbert, his muse and certainly the "Yvette" mentioned here. His mother lived at the Chateau Malrome, where he often visited.
