Other works in the same series bear artist's monogram, apparently PE with a larger C: monogram of Paul-Emile Colin (1867-1949). Colin studied and possibly practised medicine, which he abandoned in 1901 to become a professional artist. His first woodcuts date from 1893: see Marcus Osterwalder, Dictionnaire des illustrateurs 1800-1914, Paris 1983, p. 253. A poster of an alcoholic, lettered "Santé - sobriété", signed "Paul Colin", shows that he was engaged in anti-alcohol propaganda
