In doing so he has produced a very attractive book and one which incidentally proves a very good illustrated catalogue on account of the large number of reproductions, not only in black and white, but also in a great many cases in the original colors, of posters by various continental and American artists well known and otherwise" (The International Studio volume 45, 1911, p xlix). the first edition, limited to 250 numbered copies. this copy is number 69 / 250.
