"She is expensively and discreetly dressed, in the drab colours that were
fashionable in the nineties. The subdued, almost washed out tints of dull mauve,
snuff brown and tired green had not been seen before in a poster
The face
of the woman is troubled, and she is at the same time the worrier and the schemer
It
is typical of de Feure's work that the woman is always seen in isolation"
(Abdy p.152) "The Salon of the
Hundred, was a small gallery on the premises of the magazine 'La Plume' where
promising designers displayed their work. The publication's marketing arm, Editions
d'Art, also issued these posters and decorative panels in various editions, often
on quality paper as art for the home. The bottom half of these posters, there
were 43 in all, is normally filled with text" (Gold
