Abstract:
Postcard features a color illustration of a skeletal figure in a white robe and head dress crouching in a beautiful garden behind a bush. The figure is holding a snake by the tail as it slithers from one bush toward another. In the garden behind them, there is a boat on a pond and there are rows of stone arches on the other side of the pond. The title of English translation is: "In the most beautiful gardens, death sets its snares".
