Colette had a photo of BR that he had done for her in about 1916 by Hugh Cecil. "But Howard Coster has done a lovely 'sage' one quite recently when his hair is quite white and all wild. ... But the little Roger Fry one you saw is really good: caught his sceptical satiric side." 

Colette describes her relationship with BR: "I should like to try to explain that with BR and me it was a case of 'like to like': two lines so infinitely parallel can never meet." (S. Turcon note)
