KONARSKY (Wladimir) - Lot 183
KONARSKY (Wladimir) Born in Autun, engraver, prefecture councillor and historian. 1852-1906. L.A.S. "Vladimir Konarsky". Bar-le-Duc [Meuse], June 24, 1889. 4 pp. in-8. Konarsky informs his correspondent that he refuses the proposal made to him and explains at length. Preoccupied with his research into the local history of Bar-le-Duc "in a town where not a single inhabitant knows the first word of his country's history, and where most are still convinced that etching is a photographic process", he feels that he has sufficiently contributed to the prestige of the town and the region. Elected on several occasions to the presidency of local learned societies, he "no longer intends to preside over anything".
