Label TextEdward Penfield remarked about his work, "A poster has to ...come on with a personality of its own and to remain but a few moments. We are a little tired of the very serious nowadays, and a little frivolity is refreshing." This poster was featured the cover of the magazine; most posters had images created solely for the advertisement.

The spelling of the magazine's title was anglicized to "Bazaar" in 1929.
