Pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820–1910), a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, and balloonist. ALS in French, signed “Nadar,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, December 21, 1904. Nadar writes illustrator and painter Theophile Steinlen. In part (translated): “If you have any compassion left for the decrepit you’ll climb up to my mezzanine—and if you haven’t destroyed my wicked pages, you’ll give them to me. It’s quite ridiculous but I’d really be upset at this time if they were lost; you’ll see what one becomes when one gets old.” He has added the postscript, “Try to come quickly…and if you can’t come quickly, tell me.” Uniform toning and scattered staining and soiling, otherwise fine condition. Nadar and Steinlen collaborated on La misere du cheval in 1905.
