Jean Cocteau - Lettre autographe signée - 1953

A very fine autograph letter signed by Jean Cocteau, signed “Jean Cocteau” and bearing his distinctive star.

“Your letter is the first I have received since the strikes. It is dated the 19th. I couldn’t reply with specific dates because I’ve just been very ill after returning from Spain. I’m only just getting back on my feet (bronchitis, acute otitis, lumbago), and the doctor thinks I won’t regain my strength until I’m in the mountains.”

Very good condition. Slightly torn along the fold.

The shipping fee, set at 80 euros for these destinations, also covers the time spent handling these administrative procedures. Please note that obtaining this license can take a long time (usually several months).
