LA REVUE DE L’ART ANCIEN ET MODERNE
28, Rue du Mont-Thabor
Paris, 16 February 1924
Dear Friend,
Safely home – under the snow and in the cold!
Have found the sun here: it is a change from London. Unfortunately it will not last in this season. I am invited for dinner on Monday by my friends the Caramans.[1] No doubt they have already received a letter from you? Have remembered you to the Bénédites; the father, the egyptologist, has been elected at the Academy yesterday.[2] A good start. Thank you again for your charming welcome. My respects, please, to Mrs de László, and believe me yours,
[Art ?]
Here are about twenty cards that I am happy to offer you
Editorial Note:
André Dézarrois (1890-1979), Director of La Revue de l’art ancien et moderne. Dézarrois was painted by de László in 1923 [110995].
