"Like Bonnard's earlier lithographs for Parallèlement and Manet's for Le Corbeau, these subtle plates had little appeal in 1902 for a public that preferred the sharply defined realism of the professional engraver. The edition of two hundred fifty was not exhausted for twenty years. Nevertheless the book is today considered one of the finest of its period" (Artist & the Book).
