Pol Rab is best remembered for his canine cartoon characters Ric and Rac. He also designed theatre posters. Before his untimely death at the age of 35, he was elected president of the mois de 30 ans, an artistic society for artists under the age of thirty. The actress Yvonne Legeay (1892-1980) had a very long career, spanning from 1920s through the 1970s. Her likeness was captured by Paul Colin in a sketch that was never published as a poster (Colin p. 66). This image is previously unrecorded.
