Émile GOUDEAU (1849-1906). Autograph poem signed, Les Fous, and 3 L.A.S., [late 1895], to Steinlen; 4 pages small in-fol. (31 x 10 cm), and 3 pages in-8, one envelope. Long poem published in the Gil Blas of December 15, 1895 with the cover drawn by Steinlen. "Le Vertige noir" invites them To gambol on the path: Les Fous vont vite, vite, vite! Do we know who will be mad tomorrow?"... At the end, Goudeau specifies that this poem is taken from his next collection, Chansons de Paris et d'Ailleurs... The letters concern the sending of this poem, which Goudeau must have copied for Steinlen. Then he congratulates Steinlen on his drawing: "It is perfect, extra-perfect. Les Fous could not find a better interpreter. And what a beautiful madness!"... Attached is a l.s. from Henri-Joseph to Steinlen about a publication of Gardénia in homage to Goudeau (Oct. 6, 1920).
