Ossip ZADKINE (1890–1967). Autograph letter, Marseille, May 8, 1922; 2 pages, in-8 format, on Café Riche letterhead. To a stamp collector in Grenoble, whom he supplies with stamps. He is enjoying a few days in Marseille with his wife, who has just returned from Algeria, “with a tanned complexion […], I am basking in a sunshine unknown in Paris. So I’ll return to you refreshed, rosy-cheeked, and fragrant with the warmth of the quays, so inviting to northerners. I’m also bringing a large collection of various stamps, all from Russia, worth 75,000 rubles. […] Valentine is also bringing a box from Algeria—the fruit of her father’s labor—a 19th-century stamp collector.” He informs him of their stop in Grenoble, where they will visit him on Tuesday afternoon… On the back, a sketch in black pencil.
