Further details

ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPÉRY, STUDY FOR ‘LE PETIT PRINCE’, PEN AND BROWN INK, SIGNED

This charming sheet shows three studies for Le Petit Prince: the one on the right shows him standing on his planet, while the one on the left exclaims, in a speech bubble, ‘Vive André Bernheim. Antoine de Saint-Exupery'. The meeting between Saint-Exupéry and Bernheim has not been documented, but the depiction of Le Petit Prince character on this sheet, his hair dishevelled and his scarf blowing in the wind, is fairly typical of the final stages of the drawings of the character that Saint Exupéry made around 1942 in New York or Algiers. Similar drawings can be found in the margins of the autograph manuscript of Citadelle, written in New York in 1942, and on other sheets that the author gave to friends (A la rencontre du Petit Prince, cat. exp., Paris, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 2022, pp. 198, 208, 209, 212, 239 for the New York drawings and pp. 325 et seq. for the Algiers drawings). Before becoming a major impresario and successful theatre director, André Bernheim (1906 - 1972) left for ‘La France libre’ in London in 1940. He joined Joseph Kessel as a pilot in the Sussex squadron, which carried out intelligence missions and recorded messages for the Allies.
