"The prolific English artist Dudley Hardy...really introduced the colour poster to England... His posters are strongly derivative of Cheret's. Like Cheret he appreciated the advertising value of sex appeal, and his recurring subjects are legs, tutu's, frou-frous and legs again. The range of expression and antic is between a frisky insouciance and a brassier glamour" (Rennert, PAI-XXIX, 397)
