Description

Autograph postcard signed and addressed to Juliette de Serres

On a postcard of the port of St Tropez, sent from La Treille Muscate, rue des Cannebiers :

"Dear Liette, here I am, after a long diversions through Brittany, but the most beautiful Bre- tagne, islands, rocks, miraculous fishing. I'll write to you very soon, I swear! My love to you both. Colette".

Juliette de Serres, wife of the composer Louis de Serres, or Liette to her friends, was the mistress of Willy, Colette's husband, from 1900. Willy would make their story Le Maugis in love (Albin Michel-1905), in which Liette appears as Madame Payet. After Colette's divorce, however, the two women became involved in a dispute with Willy, particularly when Juliette de Serres sued him. Willy had gambled away a large sum of money that Liette wanted to invest. In 1910, he was ordered to pay her 5,000 fr.

NICE PROVENANCE.
