MARCELLIN AUZOLLE LA CRESSONEE. 1924. 471/8x311/8 inches. Maus, Delhalle & Urban. Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and image; abrasions in image; vertical fold. An aperitif advertised via a fairy tale-like image that is dangerous, alluring and sexy. Here in this dark and verdant garden innocence and evil meet. Ambiguously, the woman, in yellow except for the red ribbons on her bonnet and the rosy flush in her cheeks, seems both startled and pleased at her encounter with evil, personified as an imp offering her liqueur.
