Steinlen must have been as content to do a poster for a veterinarian as he was for the production of L'Assommoir<>. He shows an elegant animal lover and protector, leaning against a wall surrounded by adoring cats and dogs. The wall is used to present the text, in a similar space organization method to the one he created for L'Assommoir<>. The drawings of the animals are superb, and the atmosphere is filled with tenderness. Crauzat p. 135, Bargiel & Zagrodski p. 71, Maitres, p. 56, Gold 39.
