“This is one of the rarest posters by Mucha—a great pity because it is a veritable pastel rhapsody. It is one of the very few of his works that does not bear his signature—although, in this case, there is not the slightest doubt that it is actually Mucha’s work... Flowers whose fragrances are used in the trade abound throughout the design, in the girl's hair as well as in the decorative panels... The girl is one of Mucha's loveliest creations; a bit more like a real girl of flesh and blood than some of the idealized ladies which he often depicts” (Rennert/Weill, p. 260).
