The collection comprises 10 brief letters and one print. Items of interest include Gavarni's statement of opposition to a judgement in favor of a Ermelin Frères pronouncement (1838 Feb. 5). Three letters were sent to Durelleray, "fabricant d'évantails": one recommends Miss Giskaro, who makes "du coloriage" and would like to offer her collaboration (1847 Jan.); the second informs his friend that he will take his advice (1866 July 4); the third reminds him of their dinner date (n.d.). Gavarni writes the buyer of the 17th century book Récréation mathématique, asking permission to take a look at it (n.d.). There are two letters by the son of the artist, Pierre Gavarni. He thanks a person who has offered him some volumes of his father's engravings which he did not have (1903 Apr. 9); and informs a collector that the few works of his father in his possession are kept for the family patrimony (1929 Dec. 16). The collection also comprises the print of Gavarni's bust portrait signed G.(?) Gilbert.
