Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of an art nouveau style woman sitting with oranges. To the left in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Right of the poem is a merchant woman in 15th century Venice. The woman is dark skinned, wearing a red flower in her bushy brown hair. She is sitting partially in profile, facing us, on a low stone wall. Her dress is green with a white laced front. Over her left arm is a red and white shawl, over her knees is a long red cloth, and she is wearing red socks with brown shoes. Next to the woman is a flat grass basket of oranges, behind her a river with gondolas on it. In the background are domed buildings and a yellow sky. Around the woman and poem is a border of twisting brown pillars with oranges at the bottom and statues of leaves, a person, and two blue four-legged creatures on top. On the back of the card is a border made of pumpkin vines and flowers, two pumpkins in the bottom left corner. Above the pumpkins stands a little girl with dark hair looking into a jar. Next to her is a small dark dog. All verso text and images in red coloring.
