NOTE: Excerpt from a letter dated January 1959 to Agnes Mongan from H.M. Petiet:

"I bought it in a lot coming from Bonjean -- who was a dealer in the thirties in one of the streets just upwards of Rue de la Boëtie, near St. Augustin -- he had kept a few when he retired from business, and the lot was offered to me by Nebelthau. I sold it; and bought it back in a sale(?) sometime ago -- so you can mention: ancienne collections Jacques Bonjean and H. M. Petiet . . ."
