A fine inscription in this attractive production. The first edition of L'Entrave appeared in 1913. This edition is elegantly illustrated by André Dignimont 1891–1967 an artist for whom Colette felt both admiration and friendship she called him "Dig". She left a charming evocation of his art: "When I wish to be alone with you I politely set aside your acrobats your sailors and your cherry-mouthed non-commissioned officers; I beg pardon of your gentle female livestock; I turn the corner of an empty house whose shutter flaps peacefully stained with blood and I find you bending over a floral tailpiece—hearts of Jeannette narcissi and columbines mingled let us not forget the forget-me-not!—which you paint careful moved and dreamy like a maiden of old." He also illustrated Mitsou La Vagabonde and L'Ingénue libertine. The illustrations in this volume display the full range of his palette: sensual scenes an opium den urban landscapes as well as rural ones. Colette herself can be recognized in several of them. The fine inscription in this copy reflects both Colette's wit and the character of "Tonton" evidently a figure deeply attached to freedom. Mornay

""We always believe that thought which is a force reaches its target as well as a written message."" ending her letter with a very beautiful declaration: ""Beaucoup de visages humains se penchent vers le tien et tu ne les aimes pas tous.

Mine which you will not see follows you from afar and worries about you."" Bolette would commit suicide a few months later. Having evolved since her earliest childhood in artistic circles - she was the daughter of Alexandre and the niece of Thadée Natanson the creators of the famous Revue Blanche - Bolette Natanson 1892-1936 became friends with Jean Cocteau Raymond Radiguet Georges Auric Jean Hugo and also Colette. Passionate about couture she left Paris for the United States with Misia Sert a great friend of Coco Chanel and was hired at Goodman. With her husband Jean-Charles Moreux they created in 1929 the gallery Les Cadres on boulevard Saint-Honoré and frequented numerous artists and intellectuals. Their success was immediate and they multiplied their projects: the creation of the fireplace for Winnaretta de Polignac the decoration of the château de Maulny the arrangement of Baron de Rothschild's private mansion the creation of frames for industrialist Bernard Reichenbach and finally the creation of the storefront for Colette's beauty institute in 1932. Bolette Natanson also framed the works of her prestigious painter friends: Bonnard Braque Picasso Vuillard Man Ray André Dunoyer de Segonzac etc. Despite this meteoric rise she would end her life in December 1936 a few months after her father's death. unknown
