Jules ADELINE (Rouen 1845-1909), draftsman from Rouen. 10 autograph letters signed to John Grand-Carteret, with beautiful engraved headers. 14 pp. in-8 and in-4, in a fine writing. Rouen, 1885-1888. Nice correspondence about their collaboration, in particular for L'Art et la brasserie (1886). In a long letter, Jules Adeline reviews all the decorated breweries in Rouen. "This being said, here is what one finds in Rouen of cafés with more or less artistic decorations, rather less than more. - Café Sallès. Place du vieux marché, near the Théâtre Français. The tops of the doors, the tops of the windows are filled with small paintings representing the main characters of the Bibelots du diable. These canvases were painted by Lacombe at the time at the Theatre of Rouen, which has since been at the Renaissance, the Royal Palace, etc. These paintings, executed around 1860 and quite smoky, were repaired by Mr. Goulon a short time ago. - Café Victor. One of the model cafés! of modern Rouen, drapes with golden reflections, mosaic ceiling with bronzes and embossed foliage and allegorical medallions [] ". 11 Rouen cafés are thus detailed in this first letter.
