Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of an art nouveau style woman sitting by cactuses. To the right in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Left of the poem is a merchant woman sitting on the way to Damascus, Syria. The woman is dark-skinned, wearing a long white veil over her head. She is sitting with her arms around one knee, looking right. She is wearing a long red dress and some jewelry with a basket of oranges by her feet. The woman is sitting barefoot on a rock under a large prickly pear cactus. In the background is a beach, mountain, and blue sky. Around the woman and poem is a border of green prickly pear cactuses and prickly-leaved plants, oranges at the top and bottom. 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.
