A collection of more than 100 testimonies of friendship addressed to the one who inspired them: messages in prose and glass (more than 80); AQUARELLES OF VERY GOOD QUALITY FOR THE MOST PART (26), some of them signed J. Hugenij (1806), M. Schlumberger, Ebert (1800), black silhouettes (2), bouquet embroidered with colored threads (one).
