The letter is dated July 17, 1971. Segonzac thanks Mr. Guignard for his “such a fine article” published in *Nouvelles littéraires*. “It is excellent, and admirably presented and laid out; the reproductions are very well chosen and beautifully executed. I cannot tell you how much your article and the catalog’s preface have delighted me. (...)” Experts: Loup Axmann and Jean-Luc Boisseau
