French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor (1808–1879). ALS in French, signed “H. Daumier,” one page, 5.25 x 8.25, April 4, 1850. Letter to the director of the Odeon Theatres in Paris. In full (translated): “I just ask you entered late home tonight for 3 people plus 2 children is an old debt with your help I can pay.” In fine condition, with light brushing to ink and slight show-through from a circular mounting remnant to the upper right corner. Daumier published a book entitled Sketches Made at the Theatre in 1864, with the Odeon appearing in multiple illustrations. A scarce letter presenting a nice association to the arts and his own work.
