"Mr. Penfield has always combined a certain Parisian chic with a London poise of aristocracy and refinement 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, much the same way as James Whistler and the Japanese printmakers. Kiehl 182, DFP I 358, Reims 1275, Keay p. 83.
