"The publisher Ed. Monnier & Cie. came out with a series
of romantic novels for which Grasset prepared this memorable image
that eloquently summarizes the age of romanticism: a young woman in
velvet and lace, deeply absorbed in an imaginary confined real life.
Even with her back turned on us, her yearnings are clearly expressed.
Grasset treats his subject with utmost discretion, yet manages to
let us in on her suppresses longings. The poster was used for the
entire series, with names of individual volumes changed appropriately
in the text area"(Gold p.60)
"This gentle and delightful work is singled out …as one
of the four best posters of the period…In the exhibition at
the Salon de Cent, it was generally considered Grasset's masterpiece"
(Abdy p.124)
