"Mr. Penfield has always combined a certain Parisian chic with a London poise of aristocracy and refinement and blended the two by some curious psychological sleight of hand into an expression of the best that is America" (Price p. 150). Beginning in April 1896, Penfield began to use a bull's head monogram instead of his signature, in the same vein as James Whistler and Japanese printmakers.
