Both letters are typed and signed by Ionesco to Rosette Lamont, one dated May 20, 1969, the other dated Jan. 11, 1980. The five black and white photographs (four of which are by Beverly Pabst) each feature Ionesco: [1] Ionesco sitting on a chair in a patch of lawn surrounded by tall trees; marked in pencil on the verso: "Eugène Ionesco a Cerisy-la-Selle/l'ete 1978" and inscribed by Pabst for Rosette [Lamont]; [2] a close-up of Ionesco reading a newspaper, with Pabst's stamp on the verso; [3] Ionesco smiling and holding a microphone on a stage, with Pabst's stamp on the verso; and, [4] Ionesco pensively holding a microphone on stage, with Pabst's stamp on the verso; marked in red China crayon, "Return to J. Harris," and a post-it asking, "do we have consent?" and, in another hand, "Yes!"; and, [5] Ionesco with Rosette Lamont, with a mss. note on verso: "June, 2001. To Rosette, Photo found when cleaning out my mother's house. Love, Penny." The newspaper clipping from The New York Times Book Review, March 23, 1975, includes a review of Story Number 4, the English edition of Ionesco's Conte numéro 4.
