Alexandre du SOMMERARD (1779-1842). L.A.S., Pantin May 6 [1833], to Ludovic Vitet; 3 pages in-8, address (annotations in pencil and blue pencil). 

 He has just returned from an excursion in Picardy. He points out to Vitet, for his trip, two monuments: "an old manor of Anne de Bretagne, transformed today into a farm building", in Saint-Ouen near Château-Gontier; and the Saints of Solesme. It is a series of very remarkable sculptures which must date back to 1520 or 1530, of which the 3 sides of a small chapel are entirely covered. The chapel was to be demolished, but it was rented "for one year to a kind of congregation"...
