"The work is unsigned, and the lettering is somewhat too unadorned for Mucha, but the overall design and execution are unmistakably his; a fact confirmed by the artist's son, Jiri. The most probable explanation is that Mucha, pressed for time, supplied only the image, and the printer had one of his regular craftsmen complete the work and add the letters" (Lendl/Prague, p. 84).
