`...with my poor eye sight, that I do not begin.
Will we recognize each other? ´
DEGAS EDGAR: (1834-1917) French Impressionist Painter. A good A.L.S., `Degas´, one page, small 8vo, to a French Carte-Lettre, n.p., 20th January 1905, to Mr. Oulevay, in French. A moving letter by Degas, stating `Si vous me pardonnez et si j´ai le plaisir de vous voir, je vous expliquerai ce qui est arrivé. J´écris si péniblement, avec mes yeux perdus, que je ne commence pas. Nous reconnaitrons nous?´ (“If you forgive me and if I have the pleasure of seeing you, I will explain to you what happened. I write so painfully, with my poor eye sight, that I do not begin. Will we recognize each other?”) Addressed in his hand to the verso, also postmarked and stamped. Right edge and bottom corner slightly trimmed, otherwise G to VG
Degas suffered from a serious eye disease, which led him to total blindness, marking the end of his artistic activity in 1911.
