Kresse (l'un des collaborateurs de Toonder) de créer la publicité pour elle. Le résultat est cette affiche. Elle n'a pas été utilisée longtemps et un format plus petit a été créé à partir des années 1950. 46 cm x 31 cm de surface visible sous le passe-partout et cadre de 61 cm par 43 cm (l'affiche actuelle a une partie de la surface vierge cachée derrière le passe-partout et mesure environ 57 cm x 36 cm).
