ALS in French, signed "C. Pissarro," one page, 5.25 x 8.25, July 18, 1903. Letter to his son, painter Paul-Emile Pissarro. In part (translated): "I suppose you're not going to Paris with your mother...Here is what Bernheim Jeune has written me...They plan to come to Eragny to take the gouaches, you know which ones...there are six in the chest of drawers in the studio...you'll give them to them and at the same time you can show them the paintings of the Quai Voltaire, those in the salon, and still others, if you think necessary. After that you'll write me and let me know how it went." In fine condition, with a thin block of light toning and thin paper above the salutation from removal of an old strip of tape on the reverse. The Quai Voltaire, a street overlooking the Seine, was where Pissarro lived and was one of his favorite places to paint. Wonderful artistic content related to an important location in Pissarro's life.
