Editions André Sauret. Editions Michèle Trinckvel. 1992. Pl. IV. "Victor Joze (Victor Dobsky dit) had asked his friend Toulouse-Lautrec to execute this poster to announce the publication of his book Reine de Joie, mœurs du demi-monde, which is part of the series to which the writer gave the title Ménagerie Sociale." "(Lautrec) Resigned slave of his poster artist's palette, composed to the client's liking, he draws from the most reduced the maximum effects.... Un rouge sings solo with May Belfort, sometimes he thunders in the dark with Bruant in his cabaret, he vibrates with all his fire in Reine de Joie, an admirable page, an accomplished synthesis of Parisian life where the pleasure convicts display their cynicism". Alan M. Fern. Posters from the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, Mildred Constantine. The Museum of Modern Art, New York 1968. Page 28.
