Description

Jean Cocteau

ALS in French, one page, 5 x 8, Santo-Sospir letterhead, May 14, 1959. Letter to Monsieur Carrand. In full (translated): "It is because I have so often dreamed that people would come to see me without asking anything of me that I believed you were bringing me only your face and your vivacity. Not for one minute did I think you had an objective and I ask you to consider this as praise. What were you relating? Tell it colorfully and freely—Alas—no one can help another once one cannot even help himself. For 2 years I am trying to get this film ready without succeeding.” Double-matted with the original mailing envelope (addressed in his own hand) and a photo to an overall size of 17.5 x 17.5. In fine condition, with a somewhat musty odor. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
