Title:
Calendar poster of Bakilly Cosmetics Co. Ltd.

Content:
The vivid colours used in the poster was an indication of the increasingly advanced chromolithography technologies at the time. From the posture of the lady, the reflection in the mirror to the settings in the backdrop, it was obvious that Kwan Wai-nung, having learnt Western painting since childhood, had mastered the Western perspective technique in producing the sophisticated layers and space. The poster displayed a range of products at the bottom, an example of direct promotion.
