EISENSTEIN SERGEI: (1898-1948) Soviet film Director and film Theorist. Best-known for his film Battleship Potemkin (1925). Rare A.L.S., to a postcard, Alburquerque, 13th June [1930-31], to Monsieur Renaud de Jouvenel, Paris, in French. Eisenstein states `At the foot of this altar, I pray for you my dear little Renaud.´ To the colour front the postcard shows the interior of a well preserved church in the Indian Pueblo of Isleta, New Mexico, only thirteen miles from Alburquerque. Postmarked and post-stamped. G to VG Renaud de Jouvenel (1907-1982) French Writer, Polemicist and Journalist. Eisenstein travelled to US in 1930 after accepting a contract of Paramount Pictures, but after six months of disagreements, both parties declared the contract null and void. Eisenstein then, and before returning to Russia, accepted a private investors proposal and travelled to Mexico for the filming. It is during this period that Eisenstein sent the present postcard.
