Translations:Emma Reyes/21/en

The Raros y manuscritos room of the Luis Ángel Arango Library houses and guards an important sample of Emma Reyes' handwritten correspondence. Among other letters, you can find the letters that the artist sent to the writer Germán Arciniegas in which she told him about her childhood. Acquired by the Bank of the Republic in 2016, the 23 letters composed of 312 handwritten pages allow us to observe her handwriting, her crossouts and other types of editions that she made on them. They are in a very good state of conservation and are, due to their testimonial and literary value, one of the “treasures” of the Library's documentary collections.
