SIGNED AUTOGRAPH CONSIGNMENT to Aristide Bruant by Léon Janvier:

"To my friend Aristide Bruant
fond memories
Léon Janvier

The work, dedicated to Adolphe Brisson, opens with a letter from October 1895 explaining to him the futility of this collection of short stories and the use of a pseudonym: "When you hear that my short stories are banal and written in a mediocre style, you will carefully preserve the veil of anonymity". Our research has not lifted this veil.
