The cover of the leaflet is printed on blue paper, the unbound page on rose colored paper. This references Picasso's Blue and Rose periods of painting around the turn of the century. The poem is taken from the French revolutionary J.L. David's Instructions for the Festival of the Supreme Being, 1794 in which he describes his vision, ...Mothers will hold bouquets of roses in their hands, and girls will carry baskets filled with flowers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner. https://aspace.lib.uiowa.edu/repositories/5/archival_objects/891850 Accessed February 01, 2025.
