Victor SEGALEN Carte postale autographe signée envoyée depuis Tahiti et adressée à Emile Mignard : "Tépéva est mon nom"

Victor SEGALEN

Carte postale autographe signée envoyée depuis Tahiti et adressée à Emile Mignard : "Tépéva est mon nom"

Tahiti 4 mars 1903, 14x9cm, une carte postale.


"Tépéva is my name". Handwritten postcard signed sent from Tahiti and addressed to Émile Mignard
 
Tahiti 4 March 1903 | 14 x 9 cm | one postcard
 

Handwritten signed postcard from Victor Segalen, sent from Tahiti and addressed to émile Mignard. A few lines written in black ink around the black and white photographic reproduction of a view of Bora-Bora, correspondent's address handwritten on the verso. Some minor stains, a cut corner likely due to the removal of the stamp.
Doctor Segalen seems to have taken a wife: “A word from my wife to you: [written by the hand of said wife] iaorana fetii Tepeva te here neivou ia se no te mea e fetii no Tapeva Maraéa Vahine. [Written by Segalen again] Which means: I greet you friend of Tépéva [Tépéva is my name in Tahitian], and I love you because you are a friend of Tépéva. signed Maraéa-wife.”
Segalen's biography makes no mention of this exotic wife.
 
Emile Mignard (1878-1966), also a doctor and Brest-born, was one of Segalen's closest childhood friends whom he met at the Jesuit Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours School. The writer interacted with this comrade in an abundant and closely followed correspondence in which he described, with humor and intimacy, his daily life in all corners of the world. It was at Mignard's wedding, on 15 February 1905, that Segalen met his wife, Yvonne Hébert.
