Descripción

8vo. 1½ pp. on bifolium Beautiful letter to a fellow member of the Académie de Marseille, delegating his voting rights within the Académie to the recipient due to his "great and grave preoccupations" with the completion of the Marseille Cathedral that was now imminent: "Voici le pouvoir que vous me demandez : je ne puis le confier en meilleures mains : certain que vous en ferez usage pour le mieux des intérêts de l'Académie. J'ai eu de grandes et graves préoccupations depuis quelques années : enfin l'horizon s'éclaircit un peu, et peut-être serai-je plus livre : La Cathédrale de Marseille devant bientôt être remise au Clergé. Croyez qu'il me dera très agréable ; si je puis enfin dire 'Deus mihi hæc otia fecit' d'aller reprendre place au milieu de mes confrères par ma présence ou par mes travaux". - Only 13 days after writing the letter, on 30 November 1893, could Henri Antoine Révoil hand over the largely finished cathedral to bishop Joseph Jean Louis Robert. Révoil was the third and final architect of the cathedral that was built between 1852 and 1893. Following the deaths of the first architect Léon Vaudoyer (1803-72) and his student Henri-Jacques Espérandieu (1829-74), Révoil took over the construction site and was also responsible for the design of the ornaments. - Well preserved.
