Letters to Guérineau from Alexandre Charpentier and others, 1902-1906.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78908818

The collection consists of six letters and seven postcards. The letters and one card were sent in 1902 by the sculptor Alexandre Charpentier, who writes to his friend Guérineau from Southern France, Northern Italy and Switzerland where he is vacationing with his pregnant wife and their five children. He sends money for some payments to be made on his behalf, and asks his friend to see that his works, soon to come back from the Salon, are sent to the Musée de l'Union Centrale. He is also to give three bas-reliefs, the group Flight of Hours and a panel of medals to the shipping company that will send them to the exhibition Manes in Prague. In autumn, on his way home, Charpentier plans to stop at Saint Gingolph, next to Evian, to make some sketches for the three statues ordered by the baron for the niches of a big chimney. The other six postcards from 1904-1906 were sent to Guérineau at Bagnolet by clients who had ordered or wanted to order furniture from him.
