"Thomas was an American painter and lithographer, co-owner of the printing
firm Thomas & Wyle pf New York. At the age of 63, he submitted this design
to a competition sponsored by the Paris newspaper L'Eclair, to the surprise of
many, including runners-up Vavasseur, Meunier and Gottlob, he won, and we think
deservedly. It was one of the most successful poster competitions ever mounted,
500 entries were submitted, and the jury was a who's who of graphic giants of
the day, including Puvis de Chavannes, Cheret, Forain, Grasset, Guillaume, Mucha,
Steinlen and Willette" (Rennert, PAI-XVIII,
475)
