Another copy of the book fetched 560,000 euros in 2007, sales expert Francois Valleriaux told AFP.<br />A letter titled “Du suicide” (about suicide), written by Baudelaire about an attempt to take his own life in 1845, went for 225,000 euros — a record for a letter by the poet.<br />The sale at the Drouot auction house in Paris totalled more than four million euros.BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-45179362056349869592009-11-30T09:26:23.034-11:002009-11-30T09:26:23.034-11:00This is a very beautiful painting and if I was vis...This is a very beautiful painting and if I was visiting Paris it's just the sort of picture I would want to bring back with me as a momento.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969764234193384841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-12263154369088727272009-11-29T21:42:02.677-11:002009-11-29T21:42:02.677-11:00No matter what art snobs say, I am one of those pe...No matter what art snobs say, I am one of those people you describe that still clings to this wonderful nostalgic (even if touristic) view of Paris so well painted by Blanchard.
