DAUMIER Honoré (1808-1879)
L.A.S. "H. Daumier", Monday morning [1851], at CHAMPFLEURY; 1 page in-8 (slight defects). Rare letter, accepting the dedication of Champfleury's book, Les Excentriques (Michel Lévy, 1852). The book opens with a long and praiseworthy dedication of 18 pages "To Honoré Daumier", dated "Neuilly, June 1851". Champfleury will celebrate Daumier at length in his Histoire de la caricature moderne (1865)]. "Finally, my dear Champ Fleuri, I reply to you and ask you not to take for impoliteness my extreme laziness in writing [...] Excuse me and receive my thanks for your dedication which I accept wholeheartedly and which flatters me greatly, although it honors me too modestly aside. It is useless for you to bother to come since you are in a hurry, we will talk about this when we meet"....
