Description

Oblong 12mo and visiting card format. 2 pp. and 3 lines. The letter to an unnamed recipient, possibly the writer Édouard-Auguste Spoll, asking him to authorize the composer J.-M. Mayan to use a portrait of her for his publication "Le Chant et la voix, étude complète de l'art lyrique" (Paris, 1891): "Monsieur Mayan m'écrit que vous voulez bien lui accorder l'autorisation de se servir pour sa méthode de chant d'un portrait que vous avez publié lors de ma biographie. Si vous n'éprouvez aucun inconvénient je vous serai très obligé de lui accorder cette autorisation." Spoll is the author of the only contemporary biography of the famous singer "Mme Carvalho : notes et souvenirs avec un portrait à l'eau-forte par Lalauze" (Paris, 1885). - The visiting card with lithographed name to thank an unnamed person: "avec ses remerciements et ses souhaits bien sincères". - Caroline Miolan Carvalho was considered one of the greatest sopranos of her time.
