Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), Jours de Glorie, published under the patronage of the ministre de l'Éducation nationale, is sold for the benefit of the works of the French Red Cross for prisoners of war. The following have lent their assistance to the realization of this work: les etablissements Busson for typography & Bouan for phototype; as well as les Imprimeries Aranéennes & Tradition, MM. Chassepot, Lacouriere, Leblanc, Queneville, for the printing of the engravings; papeteries de Lana for the edition was provided by the S. I. P. E., 5, Rue de Beaujolais, Paris. It was taken from this folio, XX numbered examples from I to X on Lana paper, signed by authors and artists; M examples, numbered: M on Lana paper; L examples, out of commerce on Lana paper, intended for all those who have ready their competition to the realization of this work, including XXV nominative examples, accompanied by a first state of the Picasso etching. JEAN GABRIEL DARAGNÈS (1886-1950) was highly regarded both as a printmaker – especially of wood engravings and etchings – and also as a master printer of other artists’ work. Daragnès was born in Bordeaux; his father was a carpenter. From 1900-1905 Daragnès was apprenticed to a silversmith as an engraver. In 1907, having completed his military service, Jean-Gabriel Daragnès went to Paris, dreaming of a life as a Bohemian painter in Montmartre. In order to survive, he took on all kinds of work, and soon turned from landscape painting to printmaking and the art of the book. Daragnès was not mobilised for WWI as he suffered from tuberculosis. After the war he wanted to found his own press. By dint of selling everything he possessed, Daragnès raised enough money to build a house at 14, avenue Junot in Montmarte, to his own plans, with a printroom on the ground floor, a painting and printmaking studio on the first floor, and living quarters above. There Daragnés published some of the most beautiful books of the twentieth century, and also established a literary and artistic salon, whose members included Francis Carco, Pierre Mac Orlan, Colette, Léon-Paul Fargue, Noël Bureau, and Paul Valéry. It was Daragnès who taught Valéry the art of etching.
