Alfred de VIGNY (1797-1863, novelist, playwright and poet) / 1°) Autograph letter signed, 2 p in-), February 8, 1858, to Amédée de Jonquières (name of the addressee in another hand): "I am going to look for the naval battle plans I told you about, Sir, and I will write to you as soon as I have found them. You will want to come and see them when I announce my discovery and I will add my memories. It will always be a great pleasure to see you again and to hear about my dear and old friend Admiral Graëb, your uncle [n.b. Joseph Graëb, 1790-1850, Governor of Bourbon Island - Reunion in 1846] who since my childhood was for me a kind and trusting friend. I can still see him in the midst of his charming sisters when he came back from his travels and his sea campaigns, telling us about his crossings and singing romances that he accompanied with his guitar" - 2°) Original photograph by Nadar, business card size (6,5 x 10 cm) - Enclosed: Obituary of the period by Georges de Cadoudal
