This photograph was probably taken by André Maury using Walker Evans' camera. The Walker Evans Archive also contains the negative of this image; see 1994.251.165.
See 1996.166.23 for an additional photograph of Walker Evans, Georgette Maury, and André Maury taken on the same day.
Two woodcuts by Jacques appeared in the December 1924 issue of The Dial. The following appeared in the magazine's "Notes On New Contributors" section: "LUCIEN JACQUES was born in Varennes in the Argonne in 1891. He has been an engraver on wood, a weaver of raw silk, a sculptor in ivory and in wood, and a designer of jewellry. He now lives at the Cyprés St. Jean, Grasse, France, and edits the Cahiers de l'Artisan. There is an increasing demand for his work as an illustrator. His poems have appeared in Les Humbles."
