DELACROIX CHARLES-FRANÇOIS: (1741-1805) French Statesman and Minister of Foreign Affairs 1795-97 under the Directory. Father of painter Eugene Delacroix. A good L.S., `Ch. Delacroix´, two pages, 4to, Paris, 29th June 1797, to the Minister of War, in French. The letter bears an attractive vignette to the heading and the printed letter heading of the Foreign Affairs Minister, Delacroix stating in part `I have been informed, my dear Colleague, that the Ambassador of la Porte Ottoman will arrive to Paris on the 26th of this month. I have therefore written a project of ceremonial to observe on the day of the first audience before the Executive Directory.´ Delacroix further explains that the ceremonial has been largely reproduced from the one that the French Ambassador had at Constantinople. VG Claude Louis Petiet (1749-1806) French Minister of war 1796-97. It has been widely reported that when Eugene Delacroix was born, the gossip in Paris had it that his father Charles-François Delacroix had been succeeded in his bed by the man who had succeeded him at his desk, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand. On September 1797, the surgeon removed a ''monstrous tumor'' of twenty-eight pounds, in which were tangled ''the most delicate masculine organs''. The tumor apparently would have rendered him impotent.
