    AUTOGRAPHS - CHARLES PHILIPON 1836 (October): Entire letter from Paris to Metz, addressed to the Avocat Koenig. The long two-side letter written by the leading political caricaturist of the period Charles Philipon (1800-1861), who depicted politicians as pears 'comme des poires'. He is at a turning point in his career: his famous journal La Caricature has been forced to close by the 1835 Press Laws and he is looking for subscriptions to launch new ventures detailed in the letter. An important document.rn
