Geneviève Mallarmé Signed Autograph Letter to Catulle Mendès

  
Autograph letter signed by Geneviève MALLARMÉ. Would you allow a young lady who is already sensible to go to the Casino de Paris and take a few friends with her to see Les Joyeuses commères de Paris?

I would ask you for four tickets, for next Monday the 16th, and thank you very much in advance. Papa sends a thousand kind regards; we add our own.

They discussed literature, shared a taste for gardening, and often wrote to each other. Geneviève also took on the role of secretary: she kept the family purse strings and acted as her father’s scribe, especially for his correspondence.

It should be noted that Geneviève’s handwriting tends to resemble her father’s—perhaps through imitation of a father she admired? See photos for more details. Dimensions: 14.2 x 12.1 cm.
