"Possessed of a happy disposition and a discerning eye, Bonnard knew and loved the casual incident, the scenes along the boulevards, the play of sunlight and shadow across a narrow street, as well as the people — flower venders, waifs, nursemaids and their youthful charges. The prints portray a charming, eternally youthful world, humorous, sometimes nostalgic and always essentially French." —Una E. Johnson, Brooklyn Museum Bulletin, vol. 11, no. 2, Winter 1950, pp. 3-5
