This beautifully prismatic and stylized poster was created for the veritable Parisian institution whose annual children's hospital benefit gala attracted throngs of guests and top poster designers (George Barbier, Francis Bernard, Leonetto Cappiello, and Charles Gesmar, for example). Above the information regarding the many prizes available to the lucky winners of the evening's drawings, Colin puts the smart set in motion, on top of which the beaming face of a child reminds us of the purpose behind the frivolity.
