185 - CARAN D'ACHE (1858-1909), humorist and caricaturist. Autograph letter signed to lawyer Henri-Robert, 2 p in-8, Paris (de la Rotonde), December 14, 1901: He cannot attend today's hearing, "As for my opinion concerning the criterion of nudity in the matter of drawings illustrating so-called gay newspapers, I find that the limit is terribly difficult to establish. In the present case, my opinion is that the drawings being prosecuted today are no more daring than those we have always seen in this or that so-called gay newspaper; and in striking them there would be no reason not to strike all the café-concerts en bloc and nine-tenths of the theatres, but, Dame, Paris would no longer be Paris!" Joint: 2 issues of "L'Express de Lyon" of 1897 and 1898 with each the cover illustrated by Caran d'Ache
