Joachim AMBERT, known as General Baron AMBERT... - Lot 359 - Vermot et Associés
Joachim AMBERT, known as General Baron AMBERT (born at the Château de Lagrezette, in Caillac, LOT in 1804 - 1890.) General and military writer, Deputy of the LOT in 1848 - Letter A.S. "Joachim AMBERT", from LONDON on August 30, 1839, addressed to Viscount Théophile de BRÉMOND D'ARS. "I do not want to leave Europe without saying goodbye to you, my Colonel. It is from London, where we have been for a few days, that I am writing you this bill. Tonight we are going on board a magnificent ship that will take us to NEW-YORK, from there we will go by land to the Gulf of Mexico. This is a beautiful journey for an artist and for a writer. ... I set out, with the Fables of La Fontaine in my pocket and a rifle on my shoulder. I will read the cicada and the ant in a virgin forest at the end of the world, and then I will throw a ball on the hairy forehead of a buffalo in Canada. It's worth a review or the 3rd article in platoon school. My wife and little girl are doing great and follow me like the primitive women in the bible following the patriarch. The smile on the lips and the eyes in the sky. Farewell my Colonel... " - 1p in-4°.
