Year after year these posters helped to build the company's image, ensuring immediate recognition, by using the same concept of a woman holding a lamp. However, in each poster, the color of the lamp shade, the color of the woman's dress or her position with the lamp is changed. Broido 945 and pl. 38, Maindron 784, DFP-II 223, Chéret 1235.
