Description
Design for the front cover of the 1897—the third and last—edition of the Paris-almanach published by Ed. Sagot. It shows an upper-class woman picking apples from a garland wreathed around the book title, and offering them to a girl whose dress is decorated with a border of question marks.
The missing publisher name and address, as well as the paper quality, and the signature and numbers visible on other sheets of this set suggest a limited edition.
