Description

MALLARMÉ (Stéphane). Autograph letter signed "Stéphane Mallarmé" [to Catulle Mendès]. Paris, "Saturday evening" [July 20, 1872]. 3 pp. in-8. "Dear friend, would it be possible to do, without putting out the master's eye, the following little thing, in Rappel, to extract from AN ARTICLE I'M PUBLISHING, TODAY, IN ILLUSTRATION, ON THE LONDON EXHIBITION, a few lines, those relating, for example, to the English gardens which are, now, drawn by Lenôtre's own shadow. This passage reveals it to the dazzled eyes of the reader: first column, in the middle of the fourth paragraph. Before I see Marc, the father, on Monday or Tuesday, I'd like to pass before him as a gentleman considered by his colleagues. All in all, it's at L'Illustration that, once I've settled in, I could write better articles than this first one, where anxiety can be read between the lines. THERE'S SO MUCH, AT LEAST, TO TRY: LET'S GIVE IT A TRY. Thank you, dear friend, whether you can do this or not..." Stéphane Mallarmé wrote 6 articles on the London International Exhibition, 4 of which were published between October 1871 and July 1871, including one in L'Illustration on July 20, 1872.
