Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of an art nouveau style woman holding a tray of oranges. To the right in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Left of the poem is a Moorish slave woman standing in the palace Alhambra in Spain. The woman is tanned, wearing purple flowers and green feathers in ther long brown hair. Her body is facing us but looking right, holding a tray with oranges, cups and a tall teapot on top. She is wearing a long green and brown skirt, and no top with only necklaces covering her chest. The woman is standing barefoot in front of a palm plant by a wall. Around the woman and poem is a border of white pillars with grape vines climbing them, oranges at the bottom, and a large blue and yellow muqarnas 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 dark red coloring.
