Carteret IV-345 "Edition cotée en grand papier". "The illustration, made up of colored woodcuts by Jean de Villepreux, is especially noteworthy for the ingenious ideas it displays. It only seems that the artist has retained only the mechanical and precise side of Jules Romains' comedy, which he has translated perfectly into graphic finds, established, with a view to the laughable effect, with the same rigor." (Jean Bruller (Vercors), in "La quinzaine critique des livres et des revues" December 25, 1929.
