A restrained masterpiece by Reed for the obscure turn-of-the-century literary magazine is a perfect example of the artistic certainty which pulsed through every one of her known designs. “She was obviously influenced by Japanese art. This is evident in her use of flat, unshaded areas of color and silhouettes of figures in her posters and book illustrations. In most of her posters, Reed featured images of one or several similar precocious young girls, possibly based on self-portraits. They are surrounded by flowers and appear to be imbued with an intriguing combination of innocence and turn-of-the-century seductive symbolism, reminiscent of a combination of poems, Les Fleur du mal by Charles Baudelaire, and its relationship to decadent themes in the late nineteenth-century Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements” (Designed to Sell: Turn-of-the-Century American Posters, Catalogue for the exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, p. 15).
