Pruvôt, G. — Two autographed postcards dated 15 & 16 February 1905.

1905 Two postcards (one two-sided) from the zoologist Georges Florentin Pruvôt (1852-1924), with the letterhead of the âǘâÇÖLaboratoire Arago à Bannyuls-sur-MerâÇÖâÇÖ to an unknown recipient. The recepient was a parisian professor needing material for its courses. But he writes âǘâÇÖJe ne puis rien vous envoyer, absolutement rien. Malgré le mauvais temps qui dure depuis je ne sais plus combien nous avaons essayé de sortir hier; impossible de mettre un filet a lâÇÖeau. AujourdâÇÖhui câÇÖest pireâÇÖâÇÖ. The next card is more positive as he managed to dredge specimens. Georges Pruvôt was director of the Biological Station of Banyuls, becomes professor of comparative anatomy in Paris, and married the malacologist Alice Fol (1873-1972).
