All these books come from the library of the descendants of the Focillon and Baltrusaitis families. As for our auction of May 13, 2022, the connoisseur will find the names of Henri Focillon and his son-in-law Jurgis Baltrusaitis, two great art historians.

Focillon's friendships, notably with Paul Valery, are evident from the dedications and the letters sent. The particular affection that Henri Focillon had for his daughter-in-law Hélène Castell, is also illustrated on several occasions. From the classics of literature to the Lycée's Prix d'Excellence, via treatises on the History of Art, Baecque & Associés invites collectors to dive into the intellectual intimacy of a unique family.
