Important set of documents, posters, invitations, visiting cards with handwritten annotations from celebrities of the period, actors, conductors, official members and directors of opera houses, performance programs (with autograph signatures and dedications from actors), letters and correspondence (including Joseph Kessel), autographed photographs (including one of Serge Lifar), press cards, passes, and several hundred press clippings devoted to the prince when he was a singer in Russia, and articles written by the prince when he was a journalist in France after the Russian Revolution, published in the European press of the time. All these documents, dating from 1915 to 1960, are contained in three large black folio albums. Weathered, as is. Biography: born in 1901, Alexis was the son of Prince Nicholas Illarionovich Skrydloff (1844-1918), an admiral in the Imperial Fleet. After brilliant studies at the Petrograd drama school, he took singing, piano and composition lessons, before undertaking numerous concerts in all major Russian cities. After fleeing the Bolshevik revolution and settling in France, he gave his first recital at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on January 22, 1928. From then on, he was a regular participant in major song galas, concerts and musical soirées. The young prince also wrote a memoir entitled "White Russia and Red Russia", published in 1935 by Plon. After a brief film career, he abandoned music to devote himself entirely to journalism, becoming, from the beginning of the Second World War until his death, the specialist on the world of music and one of the main players in the White Russian community in Paris.

NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS - PHOTOGRAPHY - Gabriel LIPPMANN (1845-1921, French-Luxembourg physicist, Nobel Prize for Physics in 1908) / Correspondence of 2 autograph letters signed, totaling 6 p in-8, each on the letterhead of the Faculté de Sciences, Laboratoire des recherches à la Sorbonne, Paris, the addressee is not identified "Guérault", "Guéroust"?: 1°) On January 2, 1915, he thanks him for sending his book, which he will read with keen interest, "not only out of friendship for you, but because the subjects you deal with seem interesting to me, as we have not had the opportunity to discuss any of them between us, and I have always appreciated the solidity and sincerity of your reflections"; "my wife told me that you had thought of having her presented to the Académie des Sciences, and I shall be at your disposal to do so whenever you wish" (nb: daughter of Victor Cherbuliez, Laurence Lippmann was a collaborator of her husband and was very involved in the development of photography) - 2°) On February 16, 1915, he congratulated his friend, "your book is very interesting, we are no longer accustomed today to works that go beyond certain specialties, yours has the main quality of a book of great scope, it makes you think, that's all I have the leisure to tell you about it for the moment, we'll talk about it if you like; in the meantime, I don't know what could have made you think I'd judge it unfavorably - quite the contrary; I know even less why you imagine that our old and very solid friendship could have diminished, perhaps my long silence is the cause, so I must apologize; you know that in normal times we hardly have the time to see each other as I would like, today it's all over; one or two days after our conversation, I left for a rather painful trip, which I'll tell you about; on my way back I was caught up in my laboratory research on behalf of the public good, and I'm examining my other activities, so that the visit I was going to make to you on my way back has had to be postponed; I'm afraid I won't be able to have the pleasure of making it before next month; despite this, please be assured of my very cordial friendship".
