Lot description Show orginal version
Visitor's ticket of Jan Lechon (1899-1956) with note and autograph of the poet. Dimensions: 5 x 8.6 cm. Poet's name and surname printed on the front, autographed pen text below: "I am very (beautifully?) asking you for the promised book".
On the reverse there is a note in the hand of an unknown person: "24.V. - I send by Woźny* the Yearbook of Trz [Society] Literacko- artystyczne (other memorabilia?) Polish in France".

The autograph on the reverse may refer to Kazimierz Woznicki an important figure of Polish emigration in France (?).

Kazimierz Woznicki (1878 - 1949) emigrant, among other things, head of the Polish Press Agency during World War I, collector, writer... acquaintance with Lechoń is not excluded.

Lechoń was a diplomat attaché of culture at the Polish embassy in France in 1930- 1939. He probably could have known Kazimierz Woznicki, and both men were known to an unknown Mr. NN. - Which NN asks Kazimierz Woznicki to deliver to Lechoni, a book of the Literary and Artistic Society.

It was probably about the item:

Yearbook of the Polish Literary and Artistic Society in Paris: Polish souvenirs and Polish graves with 100 illustrations, a guide to Paris with 65 illustrations and a plan of Paris. [was arranged [...] by Józef Lipkowski].
Polish Literary and Artistic Society (Paris). Lipkowski, Józef (1863-1949) compilation, published in 1912 in Paris. (This Society did not publish any more yearbooks or similar books)

Jan Lechoń (Italian: Leszek Józef Serafinowicz, 1899-1956) - Polish poet, prose writer, literary critic, co-founder of the famous literary group "Skamander". Cultural attaché in France in 1930-1939, he died tragically in New York in 1956.
