To André Daven
In happy memory
Jacques Prévert
Paris, May 1961
On an original black-and-white photograph depicting a wall, the poet has pasted the figures of a nun and a young man behind her with a bear’s head.
An actor and later film producer born in Marseille, André Daven (1899–1981) produced, amongst others, Marc Allégret’s *Gribouille* starring Raimu and Michèle Morgan, and René Clair’s *Les Grandes Manœuvres* starring Gérard Philippe. In 1925, he staged Joséphine Baker’s *La Revue nègre* at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. The cover is slightly worn.
