“With consummate mastery, this poster does credit to the artist as both illustrator and poster designer. . . . Its dynamic hinges on the opposition between the violence of the storm and the serene resistance of the young girl. . . . This symbolism is engaged to support the message of the publicity slogan [‘For Colds Coughs Bronchitis’]. Pastilles Poncelet were made from tar, licorice, ipecac, codeine and potassium chlorate” (Health Posters, p. 31). This is the Courrier FranÁais format.
