Gabriele d'annunzio - Importantes Lettres Signées...

Private, military, and diplomatic archives with remarkable uniformity and historical richness. The entirety of these documents comes directly from the personal satchel of Vice-Admiral Jean Étienne Charles Marcel Ratyé (1863-1946), Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor and Head of the French mission to the Allied naval commission in the Adriatic in 1919-1920. This exceptional lot forms a true time capsule. It links high international diplomacy during the Fiume crisis in 1919 to the patrimonial roots of a great lineage of merchants and wealthy landowners from the Gard region (Nîmes / Saint-Gilles / Aubord), from the Enlightenment era to the 1920s. MASTER PIECES: THE EPIC OF FIUME (SEPTEMBER 1919) — TARGET ITALIA Gabriele D'Annunzio (1925) • Description: Miniature edition of the author’s first poetic work by G. Barbèra (Florence, 1925).

Worn condition (folds of the era, very sound). • National Lease of the Republic (20 Brumaire An X / November 11, 1801): Grand legal act sealed under the Consulate, bearing the official fiscal stamp of the French Republic (“Direction des Bouches-du-Rhône”) and a large intact red wax seal.

She describes the panic and ravages of cholera morbus in the capital (“Do not think I have cholera…”) and worries about the epidemic reaching Marseille and the Gard. • Influence Networks under the Restoration (September 28, 1819): Earlier letter in the lot, sent from Paris, detailing steps to introduce their son (Charles) to the Court of King Louis XVIII, relying on the friendship of Count de Chabrol (future minister) and the influence of the Prince de Polignac and the Marquis de Castellane. • Diligence Travel Chronicle (December 19, 1829): Letter from Eugénie Ratyé written from the Hôtel de Milan in Lyon, describing a dramatic steamboat accident on the Rhône (“the travelers had water up to the middle…”) which compelled her to continue her journey by diligence. BANK OF FRANCE & THE CASE • The Admiral’s Satchel (Original Case): Large historical portfolio carry-case personally belonging to Vice-Admiral Jean Ratyé. In black grained leather with gussets, leather tab, and silver metal lock (Good presentation, traces of old repairs inside, normal edge wear, missing key).
