25 - Eugène POUBELLE (1831-1907), the famous Prefect of the Seine who left his name to the garbage containers he imposed for the hygiene of Paris. Autograph letter signed, 1 p in-4 (average condition), July 7, 1888, to Albert Montheuil, whom he thanks for the sending of his book " Héros et martyrs de la Liberté " : " I like it especially because of its highly moral character, because of the patriotic & republican thought which inspired it entirely ".
