"To advertise Lithographies Originales, de Feure created a highly decorative poster in subtle pastel tones. Note, for example, how the yellows are made much more lustrous and vivid by being contrasted with nothing but grays; there being no other colors present, the effect is one of restraint and gentility, a mark of patrician good taste. Obviously, only the culturally elite would appreciate this publication, and the lady with the appraising look is a fair specimen of the clientele it seeks. The proof she is holding has come fresh of the lithographic stone, seen lower right” (Wine Spectator, 83). There were two identical posters published; One featured the contents of Album. No. 2 and was printed by Minot, and the other, advertising Album No. 1, was printed by Lemercier.
