    FORAIN (Jean Louis) 15 janvier 1888.. Lettre autographe signée à un monsieur. 2 pages in-12 (17,9 x 11,4 cm), encre sur papier.    Jean Louis Forain invite à venir à son atelier un monsieur qui avait précédemment annoncé sa visite, mais ne s’est jamais présenté. «  Je vous montrerai quelques dessins qui je l’espère vous plairont ». Il s’agit peut-être des dessins satiriques que Forain a commencé à activement produire pour les journaux à partir de 1887. Ces scènes humoristiques mettant en lumière les vices de la bourgeoisie et de la politique, ont fait de cet artiste proche des impressionnistes, un digne successeur de Daumier. Le personnage invité, pourrait être l’éditeur de l’un des nombreux journaux qui cherchaient à publier les dessins de Forain.    Quelques salissures, trous d’agrafes dans le coin supérieur.
