19th century PAINTERS.
Nice set of 9 documents: -ISABEY, Eugène (1803- 1886). Set of 2 L.A.S. addressed to the art dealer Emmanuel Weyl. S.l. and Paris, n.d. "Thursday" and March 30, 1864. 2 pp. in-8° on blue paper. A preserved envelope with stamp and postmark. Isabey announces to the dealer that he has finished "his two paintings" and adds: "as for the frame, you know that it is not on the market". In the second letter, Isabey rages against a swindler who is forging his works: "The painting you have just sent me [...] is not mine, it's an awful copy, and what's more: signed with my name, if I knew the forger, I would have the right to impeach him as a forger [...]". -ZIEM, Félix (1821-1911). L.A.S. to the painter Paul Vernon. S.l.,February 26, 1883. 1 p. in-8°. Address and date in another hand, creases. Interesting letter in which Ziem gives a lesson in painting technique to a fellow painter: "En hâte.
Please ask his friend Vernon to lay the cock of India head panel flat and sprinkle it with pipe clay, in order to activate the drying of this incoherent preparation [...]". -JACQUE, Charles Émile (1813-1894). Set of 2 L.A.S. and a photographic portrait, addressed to painter Paul Vernon.

7 pp. in-8°. Tear to center fold, unaffected.
Charles Jacque is preparing in detail for a major exhibition at the Galerie Georges Petit, and is getting ready for battle: "When you have engaged this skirmish, I will attack the army in the flank, and we will occupy the field. All in all, here's what I think, desire and hope - to occupy one or two sides of the showroom with 30 or 35 very important pieces of painting, at least half of them. 20 or more drawings and watercolors - ten frames of engravings etc. [...]". The painter then lists the steps to be taken to ensure success: publicity, long exhibition period, etc. Fine photographic portrait of the painter, in bust, mounted on cardboard. Original period print, dated August 10, 1882, by another hand. 14.5 x 9.2 cm (without cardboard). Autograph letter signed at foot (on cardboard) "À mon ami Vernon" -DIAZ DE LA PENA, Eugène-Émile (1837-1901). Fine photographic portrait of the painter, in bust, mounted on cardboard printed in the name of the photographer "Eugène Guérin", in Brussels. Original period print. 14 x 10.1 cm (without cardboard). Autograph letter signed on verso, in violet ink: "À Madame Paul Vernon, souvenir de bonne amitié", dated April 27, 1883. -LAMI, Eugène (1800- 1890). L.A.S. "to his dear colleague". S.l.n.d. "Tuesday morning".
1 p. in-8°. The painter arranges a meeting with a colleague before leaving for the countryside. -VERNET, Marie, née Füller, (1817-1899), second wife of painter Horace VERNET.
L.A.S. [probably addressed to dealer Emmanuel Weyl].
Bormettes [Var], July 5, 1862. 2 pp. in-8°. Scratches.
Madame Vernet writes this letter for her husband, "who is ill and has only recently been able to resume painting.
[...] As soon as the painting he is working on at the moment is finished, he will send it to his nephew, Mr Lecomte, in whose studio you will be able to see it". This is the studio of painter Émile Vernet-Lecomte, nephew of Horace and French Orientalist painter (1821-1900).
