SIGNED AUTOGRAPH CONSIGNMENT to Mr Pasteur (with the words "sent to JM Pasteur" on the cover) :
To Mr Pasteur
Tribute from the author
Emile Zola
We know of a letter from J.M. Pasteur, co-signed by Messrs Eulgens and Pener, addressed to Zola and sent from Indonesia (Java) on 8 April 1898:
Sir, to congratulate with the decision of the court of assizes
The authors are probably referring to Zola's libel trial, which took place from 7 to 23 February 1898. Although Zola was convicted, the trial helped to expose the contradictions in the case, which the Dreyfus supporters considered a victory.
Bound in the same style: Money, FIRST EDITION on plain paper without mention.
This novel follows The Human Beast in the Rougon-Macquart series.
Bound in contemporary green half morocco, spine ribbed with gilt fillets, gilt titles on brown morocco pieces, gilt fillet on covers, gilt heads. Covers preserved without the spine. Spine faded.
