Letters of French archaeologists, ca. 1822-1942.

A group of unrelated letters, presumably drawn from an autograph collection, ranging in date from 1822-1942. Though the letters are largely incidental in nature, there is some discussion of travel in the letters of Adolphe Didron (1839) and Emile Esperandieu (1925). One letter of Jean-Baptiste Le Chevalier addressed to a duchess in Paris concerns two papers on the solar system presented to the Societe Royale by Herschell (1822). Other correspondents include Germain Bapst (1900), Ernst Curtius (1844?), Jane Dieulafoy (1888, 1895), Louis de La Saussaye (1834), Gaston Maspero (1864) and Francisque Michel (1844). In alphabetical order by correspondent.
