“All of the firm’s designs featured the initials LU somewhere, and in this case they are incorporated into
the golden arch that protrudes into the picture. The girl’s dress has a pattern of sickles and wheat, and
she even has some wheat stalks in her hair, ideal to indicate the origin of the product” (Lendl p. 70).
