Albin Michel éditions 1995 - by Christiane Sand and Gilles Clément, photos by André Martin. GEORGE SAND'S ROMANTIC GARDEN. "George Sand loved to roam the Berrichonne countryside in search of plants for her herbarium, and to garden to her heart's content on her Nohant estate. Today, the flowers she planted have disappeared. What remains are her words, her travel stories and her herbarium.... This album, combining George Sand's most beautiful texts on nature and the pleasures of botany, herbarium plates from the last century and photographs that recreate the enchanted world of the author of La Mare aux Diables, invites us to discover a literary garden where it's good to stroll". - 184 pages - bound in dust jacket - 28.5 x 21 cm. George Sand in the garden by Aurore Sand, a childhood in Nohant, my life in the country, natural studies, G. Sand's natural garden, glossary, bibliography, index of plant names, notes.

[George SAND] - Doctor Claude-François LALLEMAND (1790-1854, physician) / Autograph letter signed, 1 p in-8 plus address page, to Doctor Pierre RAYER (1793-1867, ordinary physician to Napoleon III): George Sand particularly recommends Monsieur Josse to him, "he is affected by albuminuria - at least everything leads me to believe so - and I found nothing better than to send him to you, I advised him to enter your service to be more easily and more completely subjected to your observation, I don't need to tell you how much I wish to be useful to Madame Sand's protégé, and I didn't think I could prove it to her better than by referring Mr. Josse to you" (Jean Josse, a shoemaker, was the husband of Ursule, née Godignon; the Godignons were servants in Nohant at the Dudevant household, and little Aurore had Ursule as a playmate; George Sand was always faithful to this childhood friend).
