Brillat-Savarin, [Jean-Anthelme]One-page ALS -

1818. One-page ALS, eighteen lines in the hand of and signed by the great epicure and gastronome, Brillat-Savarin, the author of the magnificent Le Physiologie du Gout. Brillat-Savarin was a lawyer and politician, and this letter finds its origin in his legal work. The letter bears three stamps of the Loi de 1816, a tax instituted to restore credit to the state after the financial turmoil of the First Empire. The letter is dated "le quinze novembre dix huit cent dix huit." A tiny bit of foxing to the laid paper, and horizontal and vertical fold marks, otherwise in fine condition.
