TLS in French, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, October 16, 1978. Letter to fellow surrealist painter Felix Labisse. In full (translated): “On the occasion of my election to the Academy of Fine Arts, for which you did so much, I would be happy and honored if you accepted to be a member of the Honor Committee for [the attribution of] my Sword. I’ll be at the Hotel Meurice in a few weeks. Robert Descharnes [biographer and close collaborator of Dali’s] will let you know. We’ll see each other then. André-Francois Petit [gallery owner] and Descharnes kindly accepted to deal with the administration. Please send me your favorable answer in care of the Petit gallery.” At the bottom of the page, Dali has added a fabulous original ink sketch of Don Quixote on his horse Rocinante, signing at the bottom of the sketch “Dali.” In fine condition, with a few minor wrinkles and creases. Dali sketches are quite uncommon, and this is the first image of Quixote that we have seen.
