For this exhibition of Belgian Art Nouveau posters, Tomaszewski places the foot and part of the shawl of a can-can dancer against a bright yellow background to catch the public's eye. He uses his preferred method of free-hand lettering. It is a strong, improbable and effective design. This is the rare first printing. Weill p. 319, Plakat Kunst p. 162, Exposons 65.
