Broca,” one page, 5.25 x 8, Societe d'Anthropologie de Paris letterhead, August 9, 1873. Handwritten letter regarding upcoming travels, in part (translated): "I shall arrive in Lyons on the 22nd in the evening; My wife is not planning on coming with me. In the old days I used to stay at the Hotel de l'Europe; but I am not sure I'll go there this time; I'll go with the flow. In any case, as soon as I am back in Paris, on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll get the information and warn you. An excursion up the Mont Blanc is part of the program." In fine condition, with a hint of very faint foxing.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
