The intriguing image, from the "beguiling sloe-eyed Parisienne," to the "impertinent neckerchiefed newsboy," to the "top-hatted figure bent over the newsstand behind [them]," . . . is one of Bonnard's "most audacious graphic designs" (Ives p. 105ff). Maitres pl. 38, DFP-II 77, Word & Image p. 26, Modern Poster p. 8, Abdy p. 93, Maindron p. 41, Meisterplakate 14.
