Cat. 94 : "As early as 1900, Octave Maus recognized that "it is easy to discover certain analogies between the posters of Privat Livemont and those of Mucha...Peut-ętre l'enquęte, far from harming Mr. Privat Livemont, serait-elle favorable ŕ l'artiste bruxellois, whose first posters date back to 1890, that is to say, to a time when Mucha's name was unknown." Réjane Bargiel - Harry, Christophe Zagrodzki. The Book of the Poster. The Book of the Poster. Editions Alternatives 1985. Page 36. Ill. 16 : "Privat Livemont elaborates an art close to that of Mucha. His style is however freer, visibly closer to the Symbolists, and his palette can be more varied... The concern to bring the letter to the design in the poster shown is evidence of this: the fumes of steaming cocoa guide the eye to the essential - the name of the product." Yolande Wittamer. Catalogue of the exhibition Les Affiches de la Belle Epoque at the Château de Fraiture-en-Condroz. 1961. Page 80. Plate XXV. N°234.
