"Wastage and transience are attributes of our consumer age that swift change and sanitary engineering usually hide from view. But occasionally they break into sordid bloom, nowhere more conspicuously than on poster hoardings; and photographers have repeatedly captured the sadness of their flowering. Gene Laurents, whose photographic work is the subject of an article on page 4900, comes to the task with the eye of the trained artist and a subtle feeling for caducity in all its forms. W. Herdeg took on of his studies and transformed it into a cover for this issue."—Graphis, Issue 140, Vol. 24, pp. 472
