Richard Wagner

ALS in French, signed “Rich. Wagner,” one page, 4.5 x 7.25, no date. Handwritten letter by the celebrated opera composer, in full (translated): "You appeared to me like a phenomenon, and then you disappeared! Do you know that that’s a little cruel? Tell me (since I suppose that you are in town) what I need to do in order to find out what my modest copyrights have earned me through the company of which you made me a member, and how I can withdraw the proceeds. I have 10 francs left. I would therefore not be unhappy to have something at my disposition. Forgive me! Look after me!" Double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 17 x 14.
