MAETERLINCK MAURICE: (1862-1949) Belgian Playwright & Poet, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1911. A.L.S., Maeterlinck, unusually written to the verso of four individual postcard photographs, the images depicting different views of the Abbey of St. Wandrille (Fontenelle Abbey) in Normandy, n.p. (Normandy), 5th July 1914, to a young lady, in French. Maeterlinck informs his correspondent that he has left Nice and will spend the rest of the summer with his wife at the Abbey in Normandy, about thirty kilometres from Rouen, and continuing ‘When you go through France on your way back to England, it will be easy for you to stay for a few days. The Abbey is half-way between Rouen and Dieppe; there are excellent ships to Newhaven everywhere, so this would not even be a detour for you.’ Some light age wear and some staining to the upper edge of the first postcard, not affecting the text.
