PISSARRO,  Camille.  AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED TO HIS  SON
        matted  and  framed with a reproduction of a  painting  and a
        brass plaque.  Eragny  Barincourt:  11  Sept.  1897.  A  fine
        two-page  letter  (@200  words) in French to  his  son  Felix
        completely  in Pissarro's hand (7-3/4" x 5-3/4") matted  with
        a reproduction  of one of his paintings (5-3/4" x 5-3/4") and
        a brass  plaque. All in a muted gold frame under glass with a
        total size  of 13" x 21". A chiding missive in which Pissarro
        responds  to  a letter from his son announcing that he is  in
        Kew and    scolding  him  about   ignoring  health   warnings
        regarding  his bronchitis: Dr. Martiny told you that  England
        wouldn't  be  suitable  for you, which didn't keep  you  from
        going just  the  same. Pissarro offers to send money  to  his
        son but  needs to be sure of his address. He tells Felix that
        the postcard  he wrote in English wasn't bad, but the  tenses
        of the  verbs  weren't completely correct. A letter  sure  to
        strike  a nerve of any father with a college-age son.  SIGNED
        "je vous  embrasse tous, ton pierre aff. C. Pissarro."  Fine,
        beautiful presentation.                              $2500.00
