Autograph letter signed to architect Alfred Rome.

Two illustrated and watercolor in-4° pages.

Slight traces of adhesive on back."

Paris. June 2, 1922.

“My discipline is such that I don’t get tired and I’m happier when I hold my job than when I give it up. »

Stunning illustrated letter from French sculptor preparing bronze overlooking a vertical stone base.

"Dear friend Rome, Here’s how I see the stone base that’ll then be patinated with simply iron oxide that leaves a tone of gold. Flared A+A straight stele for stability, but so does weight. No packaging fees but will you receive the bronze on time?

Dimensions - Height 1m35. A.A. drawing scale width with flared base for a solid seat.

Thank you very much dear friends. I am held arch held. Huge work. Because made and redone by me alone. Huge delay to my monuments! Will I only have a vacation this year? I don’t know – I know it shouldn’t. My discipline is such that I don’t get tired and am happier when I hold my job than when I give it up. Maybe I'll drive to Italy - but I dare not count on it.

You may think we would be happy to come - alas is the word we have to say. I don't know where to start my work, how to get out of my delays. There was no need to send the 4 thousand we’ve received check.

Do you believe my small speed, bronze will arrive soon enough? To all your big and small world my cordial tributes. If you photograph the bronze on the column - at the museum surrounded by its three ladies, the two large and the very small... in a hurry and to all of you. Ant. Bourdelle. »
