LUDVÍK KUBA (1863-1956) | HAND SIGNED LETTER (CZECH/ BOHEMIAN)

1890 | profession: Painter | country: Czechia | signature: Original signature | size: 310 x 260 mm (size of the pad) | technique: Handwritten letter with signature

Autograph letter signed by Czech painter, musician, writer, and ethnographer Ludvík Kuba, dated 'Poděbrady, October 17, 1890.' The letter is addressed to an unknown recipient and discusses Kuba’s artistic work, particularly his collection of folk songs and inspiration from Balkan motifs.

The text is written in a clear handwriting with brown ink on a fine paper sheet. At the end of the letter, Kuba’s elegant handwritten signature appears: 'Vám oddaný Ludvík Kuba' ('Yours devotedly, Ludvík Kuba').

An interesting document illustrating Kuba’s early artistic activities and his deep interest in Slavic culture, which remained a central element of his lifelong work.
