Anatole FRANCE (1844-1924). L.A.S. to Gabriele D'Annunzio; 1page oblong in-12 (on the back of a postcard of his house in La Béchellerie). "An obscure Frenchman recommends to Gabriele d'Anunzio, whose glory fills the world, an extraordinary journalist, who has talent and probity, François Crucy"... [François Crucy (1875-1958), pseudonym of Maurice Rousselot, had started out at Clemenceau's L'Aurore, then moved in 1912 to Jaurès's L'Humanité, for which he covered the Tours congress in 1920].
