Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of an art nouveau style woman and snake. To the left in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Right of the poem is a naked woman, Eve, standing by an orange tree in the Garden of Eden. Eve is pale-skinned and naked but her long blond hair covers most of her front. She is standing facing us but looking to her right at a green snake wrapped around the border. By her feet are white flowers, behind her an orange tree, water, mountain, and a cloudy sky. Around the woman and poem is a border of red and white flowers, oranges in the bottom left, and a circle of sun and stars 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.
