SAND GEORGE: (1804-1876) French Novelist. A.L.S., G Sand, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1865), to Albert Lacroix, in French. Sand writes on the subject of the publication in a magazine of her son Maurice Dudevant's novel Le Coq aux Cheveux d'Or and the magazine's apparent insistence that certain passages should be removed which can however be restored when the novel is published in book form, stating 'On reflection I don't know why its Protestantism should shock them, Maurice and his wife are both Protestants. If there is any esprit de corps on that journal they should welcome one more co-religionist. That is a circumstance which may be important'. With integral address leaf in Sand's hand. A few small areas of paper loss in the corners of the integral leaf and some slight traces of former mounting and light age wear, about VG Albert Lacroix (1834-1903) Belgian Publisher & Printer, a friend of Sand. Lacroix risked launching some seminal authors including the Goncourt brothers and Emile Zola and in 1862 was the original publisher of Les Miserables. Provenance - From the celebrated collection of Countess Estelle Doheny.
