Signed lower left.
(Tears at edges. Water stains).

For this type of official commission for an event about which there's not much to say, form takes precedence over substance... Cappiello, with his radiant young woman on a background strewn with flowers, fulfills his mission perfectly! All the more so as the printed poster is cluttered with the obligatory typographical references.
