Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of an art nouveau style woman selling oranges. To the right in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Left of the poem is an Indian woman standing by a river in Varanasi, India. The woman is tanned, wearing a long red veil over her head and a hat. She is facing us with a carrying pole of two baskets full of oranges on her left shoulder. She is wearing a long red skirt, an orange-patterend bandeau, and some jewelry. The woman is standing barefoot in the sand by a river, behind her are some mosques and an orange sky. Around the woman and poem is a border of green and red pillars with sculptures of four-legged beasts, oranges at the bottom, and two incense burners at the top. On the back of the card is a border made of butternut squash, their vines, and flowers. In the bottom right corner sits a little girl with dark hair looking into a jar. She is naked and sitting on a cushion. All verso text and images in red coloring.
