Autograph letter signed ("HTLautrec").

4to. 2 pp. In French, written from his summer holidays in Arcachon to the publisher Andr Marty concerning the publication of a lithograph in the print portfolio "L'Estampe originale". In place of royalties, Toulouse-Lautrec asks for proofs of prints by Eug ne Carri re and Pierre-Auguste Renoir from an earlier issue: "Merci de votre bonne lettre, quand au r glement de ma litho je vous r pondrai sans artifice. Avez vous un exemplaire en trop du Carriere et du Renoir de la 1 re ann e. Si oui crivez le mot specimen derri re et nous sommes quittes [.]". In a short postscript, he asks Marty to take care of some of Yvette Guilbert's belongings: "J'ai re u une fort aimable lettre d'Yvette. Gardez les choses Guilbert chez vous". - Henri Toulouse-Lautrec contributed several lithographs to the short-lived but highly influential publication "L'Estampe originale," including the first album cover and the concluding piece of the final portfolio with the names of the contributing artists. The prints he is asking for are Renoir's portrait of his son Pierre ("T te d'enfant") and Eug ne Carri re's portrait of his wife ("T te") from the fourth album, 1893. Among his contributions to "L'Estampe originale" are two portraits of the singer and actress Yvette Guilbert (1865-1944), who was one of Toulouse-Lautrec's favorite subjects. In 1894 he dedicated an entire print album to Guilbert, also published by Marty, immortalizing her as the epitome of La Belle poque. - On stationery with printed letterhead "GD Caf de la Place Thiers F. Repetto Arcachon". Traces of folds and slightly creased with insignificant tears to the right edge.
