"Meunier used this theme of a girl and a harlequin on a hobby
horse for this store the previous year. The concept was so successful
that he trotted them out again, keeping the main idea intact while
adding greater detail to the woman's dress according to the newest
dictates of fashion and including a couple of exotic toys and dolls
at bottom. It remains one of the happiest posters for a store
sale, shouting it's message in bright, joyful colours" (Rennert,
PAI-XXXVII 509)
"Meunier, a beaux Arts-trained painter and decorative artist, also
designed 56 known posters that are much in the manner of Cheret, not
surprising since he worked at the master's Chaix printing plant, started
in 1894"(Rennert, PAI-XXII 414)
