NADAR Félix Tournachon, known as (1820–1910). Autograph letter signed “Nadar,” [to his friend, the geographer and explorer René de SEMALLÉ]; 1½ pages, in-4, bearing his monogram and motto “Quand même!” Description: He reflects on his “four things from Algiers, so heartbreaking, and I wish this cry would reach the four corners of the civilized world.” He received a letter from Mr. Marc “who tells me of his intention to try and his lack of hope; but that is not enough, even if there were no censorship veto.” He asks that “12 sets of these 4 prints be sent from the photographer in Constantine: the two of us will pay for them, if you’d like, and I’ll take it upon myself to have them reported, in all their horror, firsthand, by 12 newspapers in France and abroad that we’ll choose. – I can already imagine, not to mention those on my side, what VEUILLOT will say about this, and as for him, I’ll take care of it”… In the interest of the cause they hold dear, this will be better “even than publishing the images in a newspaper”…
