Jean Cocteau et François Bernouard collaborent dès 1909 pour créer les six livraisons de la revue Schéhérazade premisses des éditions Bernouard.
Mounet-Sully est probablement la plus belle collaboration entre l'écrivain et l'éditeur, le texte et les illustrations gouachées à la main se mêlant parfaitement.

He let movies which had marked the century, as "Le Sang d'un poète" (A poet's blood), The Beauty and The beast, Orpheus, but also famous illustrations as "Le Livre blanc" (The white book).
