Abstract:
Advertisement for Phosphatine Falières. Card features a color illustration of three art nouveau style women. To the right in a blank space is a poem by Maurice Vaucaire. Left of the poem are the three Hesperides, daughters of the Titan Atlas, in the Garden of the Hesperides, possibly in Mauritania. All three nymphs are pale-skinned with flowers in their hair and as jewelry. The top woman is blonde wearing a white dress, the middle woman is brunette wearing an orange dress, and the bottom woman has reddish-brown hair wearing a green dress. Around the women and poem is a border of two Orange trees (or golden apple trees) with two three-headed dragons on them, supposed to be the hundred-headed dragon Ladon. 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.
