Bidault, Georges. (1899-1983) French Statesman and Prime Minister. Member of the French Resistance movement during World War II. Inscribed Visiting Card Signed. 5 x 4", on white card stock. Inscribed in French, "Paris , January 23, 1975,/ Dear Mr. Alan Fox,/ This is a photograph that is roughly twenty years old. Today I have large glasses and white hair and can't go outside to take a picture of those embellishments. I ask you then to be content with the face of my first worries, of my first conferences and my first hopes. I wish you to keep yourself from the illusions that reigned and to stay nevertheless faithful to the idea of Europe and our threatened civilization. The attitude of my country toward the USA is unbearable for a French resistence [member] like me, who knew 1944 closely. May God protect you. Bidault."
