This advertisement for a Danish Encyclopedia was one of the last posters Cassandre designed. More in
keeping with the lyric romanticism of his theatrical work which was prominent at this point in his
career, he depicts a young man pouring over the reference book with question marks indicating his
curiosity. Clearly finding what he wants, the blue illustrations in the book are filling up his eyes, which
are the same color. Suntory p. 182, Brown & Reinhold p. 161.
