268 - THEATER. RACHEL (Rachel Félix dite,... - Lot 268 - Vermot et Associés
268 - THEATER. RACHEL (Rachel Félix dite, 1821-1858), the great tragedienne. A touching autograph letter signed to her father in January 1843 from the actress then aged 22: "My dear Father, My wishes this year are and cannot change, it is enough to tell you that your health is dearer to me than anything else and that my continual ambition is to prove it to you by my conduct and by the respectful feelings of your daughter who embraces you very much" (Rachel triumphed at the Théâtre Français but did not forget her very modest origins: her father Jacob Félix was a poor peddler, and even as a child she sang with her sister Sarah in the streets to earn a few pennies)
