NADAR, TOURNACHON FELIX (1820-1910)
Autograph manuscript and preparatory notes by Nadar for his book on Charles BAUDELAIRE.
Undated manuscript and notes (between 1901 and 1910| some notes are probably earlier), 85 pages in-4. Very good condition for the manuscript: paper slightly yellowed, some stains and small browning, some angular folds. Many pages are with mounted cuts. Some pages of the notes are in poor condition (tears, folds and soiling, ink or glue stains).
Some pages are in poor condition. (Tears and folds) 1) Autograph manuscript of first draft. 53 pages small in-4, 230 x 180 mm, in black ink on the fronts of 53 sheets of paper, numbered in pencil from "1bis" to "65" (missing pages 30 to 32, 41 to 43, 53 to 56, with 2 pages numbered 58, and (60 to 62). Page 24 has notes in pencil and ink on the verso.
A much corrected manuscript, with nearly 300 corrections, including many deleted passages and lines, several pages also entirely crossed out in blue or red typographer's pencil| corrections in ink or pencil. Mentions in blue or red pencil dot the pages: "revoir original", etc| page 21 bears in red: "Épisode Jules Janin supprimé". This manuscript presents numerous variants with the published text as well as unpublished passages.
2) Preparatory notes. Approximately 32 pages in total, most of them large in-8| some pages crossed out with a pen stroke, others with numerous corrections with reworkings and modifications. Nadar's handwriting is very changeable on some documents. A sheet in-8 contains a list of names of Baudelaire's friends and relations, crossed out after mention. Nadar recorded thoughts, aphorisms and memories of his friend: "He used to say: I hate wills and I hate tombs / crows of letters. I am one of those who walk away at the moment of the beginning of funeral speeches." There are also fragments of an early version of his text as well as this justification of his enterprise: "Others will say better than I what the poet who wrote Les Fleurs du Mal is worth, - that famous and unknown book. Far more unknown himself and no less legendary, the man must have counted on those who lived his life and loved him to give him their testimony in due course, and this is the duty I am discharging at this hour."
