Among the highlights are letters from Man Ray and a manuscript from Paul Gaugin. Several Napoleon items include this letter from Napoleon to his Minister of War, the Duke of Feltre, with a lovely signature.
Also of interest, is a letter from Thomas Mann to the journalist Rudolf Kircher, whilst the former was at Palisades, California.
It is intended that this will be the first of a Quarterly Exclusive Autographs & Manuscript auction. High quality submissions are welcome for future auctions.
The auction will be online starting Tuesday 6 April 2021 at 10:00 UTC | closing Monday 12 April 2020 at 18:01 UTC and will be visible at the following link: https://www.catawiki.com/a/454971
