Victor de Riquetti, Marquis de Mirabeau (1715–1789). 2 lette - Lot 73
Victor de Riquetti, Marquis de Mirabeau (1715–1789). 2 letters, Paris 1776–1783, to Mr. Ribard at the Château de Chamoust; 1 page in-4 each, one with address and red wax seal bearing the coat of arms (a few slight defects). January 6, 1776: “I shall not ask you for a monument, but perhaps I may have the confidence to ask you for a simple decorative design for a chapel where I would like to have a crypt built and place the relics of my late mother, at whose feet I would one day like to rest. I say ‘simple’ because she recommended, through her actions during her lifetime and in her will, that little expense be incurred on her behalf after her death”… January 6, 1783, thanking for compliments regarding his Grand Cross of the Order of Vasa: “It is my mark of distinction as syndic of the plow, and if indeed I have done any good during my time here, it is to have roused the disheveled masses in this regard, to teach them something whose value certainly does not lie in its novelty—namely, that everything they seek so far afield lies right at their feet”... Certificate of cultural heritage attached.
