Abstract:
Advertisement for Eau des Carmes Boyer, an alcoholic extract of lemon balm and other herbs. Card features a color illustration of two men and a woman having a picnic on a patch of thick, green grass. They are dressed in upper-class 18th century clothing. The woman is wearing a long red dress and the men wear long coats with breeches and stockings. A picnic basket and a red umbrella are on the ground beside them. Further behind, another man is walking away from a parked carriage and approaching the others, carrying another picnic basket. A large white sheet hangs just behind the group, obscuring most of the background. The whole illustration is surrounded by a gold border.
