Jehan RICTUS. L.A.S., Paris April 14, 1924, to M.Poncet; 2pages oblong in-4 (under glass). OnSteinlen. He has no drawings bySteinlen for sale, "or rather I only have one or two that are unsaleable. They are covers for a booklet or the 1st edition of Soliloques made at my expense (1897 at the author's house). They are of no interest whatsoever, except to me. The drawings of theSoliloques (which were used to illustrate theSoliloques) were sold by lot, a long time ago, by my publisher. [...] Steinlen's death naturally raised the price of his drawings. I know that a sale of his studio will be held by the heirs. [...] There are an enormous number of drawings and quite a few paintings in the studio. It's to be expected that this sale will be very well attended and that, naturally, there will be a certain rise in prices. During Steinlen's lifetime, a fine drawing could be had for 5 or 600 fr."... 4 other L.A.S. to M. Poncet, 1922-1926 (1page oblong in-8 each), including one on his return to the cabaret at Fursy's (March 1926).
