Lot description
2 pp. 12mo, in French, s. "Daniela de Bülow", envel. pres.
"Ma mère, Madame Cosima Wagner, me charge de vous exprimer sa profonde reconnaissance des paroles que vous avez bien voulu lui adresser. Elle est trop souffrante encore pour pouvoir lire ou écrire des lettres [...]". Daniela (1860-1940) was the first daughter of the conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow, the stepdaughter of Richard Wagner, and the granddaughter of Franz Liszt. She married the German art historian Henry Thode in 1886.
Prov. Gustave Huberti (1843-1910), Belgian composer linked to the Flemish school despite his Walloon roots, was an early Wagnerian.
