BAUDELAIRE Charles (1821-1867)

L.A.S. "C.B.", [1861], to his publisher Eugène de BROISE| 1 page in-8 (small missing corner without touching the text).
Advertisement for the second edition of Les Fleurs du Mal.
"Note for Mr. De Broise, to be given to Mr. Arsène HOUSSAYE, at the same time as the authorization to print the portrait of BRACQUEMOND.
"The portrait of Charles Baudelaire that we offer to our subscribers, drawn and engraved by Mr. Bracquemond, decorates the second edition of the
Flowers of Evil, which has just appeared in the bookshop Malassis and De Broise, increased by thirty five new poems". Moreover, one must remember that the portrait is not accompanied by the name, and that if it is useless for the volume, it is indispensable for the newspaper". He adds: "Mr. Arsène Houssaye will arrange the advertisement as he sees fit".
