"A composition that combines a rigorous construction with a pictorial sensitivity. Curiously, we find here the same search for nocturnal light, the "neon effect" as with his colleagues, Carlu (Monaco) and Colin (Luna Park), the three posters having appeared practically at the same time. One of Loupot's most beautiful advertisements" (Loupot / Zagrodzki p. 74). Reina Sofia p. 122, Loupot / Zagrodzki 76, Biblioteki Glownej 268, La Femme s'Affiche 117.
