"Broken down into fields of flat colors and basic shapes, the constructivist-style design for the 1929 European Rowing Championships is purposeful and yet done without a shred of extraneous artwork . . . it's seemingly simple composition and saturated hues result in a promotion that is vibrant and exceptionally inviting. The event was held on the Vistula River in Bydgoszcz, a major Polish city, originally a fishing settlement located northwest of Warsaw" (Crouse p. 127). Crouse p. 126, Biblioteki Glownej 168.
