In the letter Daragnès responds with a mix of warmth and wry wit thanking the writer for their kind words while gently correcting an error: French text: "Cher monsieur Je reçois avec plaisir le numéro du Studio ou vous avez eu l'amabilité de parler de moi en termes si obligeants que je suis un peu confus. Je suis heureux que mes travaux vous plaisent - Puissent quelques Anglais jeunes comme vous. Croyez moi cher Monsieur amicalement.Daragnès .Je regrette simplement que vous m'avez appelé George alors que je me prénomme Jean-Gabriel" English translation: "Dear Sir It is with pleasure that I receive the Studio's number in which you had the kindness to speak of me in such obliging terms that I am embarrassed by. I am happy that my work pleases you - few English as young as you do. Believe me dear Sir Sincerely. Daragnès. I simply regret that you called me George when my first name is Jean-Garbriel" In 1925 Daragnès had set up his workshop on avenue Junot in Montmartre which was the hub for many an artist of that time. Gide-Daragnès collaboration is an important example of the synergy between modern French literature and book art - and ISABELLE stands as one of the most elegant results of that movement.
