“The advertised product was made by Kingstown Rum and distributed by Goodridge & Wood of Kingston, in business since 1831. This is one of Mucha’s rarest posters; only one [other] copy is known to have survived. It has many of the characteristic Mucha elements—the flowing lines of the dress, the circular aureole, and rich decoration; only the girl’s hair is unusually tame” (Rennert/Weill, p. 130).
