Description

ALS in French, signed “A. Rodin,” one page, 5 x 8, no date. Handwritten letter by Auguste Rodin to "Madame Mason," saying that he has heard that she wishes "to return my sculpture to me." Affixed inside the front cover of a hardcover first edition of Art by Auguste Rodin, published in Boston by Small, Maynard & Company in 1912, 7.25 x 10.5, 259 pages, featuring 106 illustrations of Rodin's works in half-tone and photogravure. Loosely laid in are two of Rodin's personal calling cards, 3.25 x 1.75 imprinted with his name and the address of his studio, "A. Rodin, 182 rue de l'Universite," and annotated in unknown hands. The letter is in fine condition; the book is very good, with the frontispiece photogravure detached but present.
