CAMBON (Paul) (1843-1924). - Lot 33
CAMBON (Paul) (1843-1924). French diplomat and administrator. Member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques. Founder of the Alliance française (1883). L.A.S. "Paul Cambon" to "Dear Lady Cunard". Paris, s.d. 1 page ¼ in-8. Charming letter of invitation to lunch, addressed to Lady Cunard, a figure of the great Anglo-French world. Cambon proposes an appointment "at Laurent's on the Champs-Élysées, avenue Gabriel, opposite rue du Cirque", elegantly specifying that "all the actors know him", an allusion to the social and diplomatic circle frequenting this establishment. A testimony to the diplomatic and social Paris of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where political and international elites met. Correspondence with Lady Cunard - a major cosmopolitan figure - adds to the document's interest. French diplomat and administrator. Member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques.
