In 1927, he presented several works at the Machine-Age Exposition in New York. Two years later, he provided illustrations for Au soleil, a travel book by Guy de Maupassant. He also illustrated two works by Jean and Jérôme Tharaud; Marrakech ou les seigneurs de l’Atlas (1924), with engravings by François-Louis Schmied, and L'An prochain à Jérusalem (1929), engraved by Georges Beltrand.
