(chemise dos chagr. lie-de-vin, papier œil-de-chat, étui (Atelier Devauchelle). "Un théâtre nouveau (symboliste) doit correspond à l'état des esprits d'aujourd'hui, qui ne veulent pas s'intéresser aux basses fictions naturistes" (L'Art moderne, April 26, 1891 p. 135). - Antonia. Paris, Léon Vanier, (April) 1891, dedicated to Catulle Mendès. Autograph letter in ink on f.-t.: "à Monsieur Stéphane Mallarmé,/ en souvenir, de toute gratitude,/ de la représentation du 20 avril/ Edouard Dujardin". This is the date of the 1st (restricted) performance "before an invited audience, on the stage of the Théâtre d'Application", as the author states in fine; without the chorus, with only the coryphées, including Lugné-Poe. Mallarmé attended: "I continue to find, not rare but unique in literature, this tragedy of Antonia", Mallarmé wrote to Dujardin (Marchal Corr. 1504). - Le Chevalier du passé. Part 2.

Mallarmé attended: "Thank you, Dujardin [on receiving this copy]; I tasted the same pleasure reading it as during the performances [in the plural, as Antonia was also performed], as before something definitive as well as new [...] and you will have, with the trilogy, something apart in this time, with a personal and sovereign jet. This finale, in monologue [of the Courtisane], of lyrical drama for words alone, represents for me one of the happiest audacities, as far as I know. And everything!" (Marchal Corr. 1742). - La Fin d'Antonia. Part 3. Paris, Vanier (June) 1893, "in homage to the master of modern drama, Richard Wagner".
