Description:

A maid stands guard before a closed door, behind which her mistress is undressing. The plate functions as a two-state lift-the-flap illustration: with the flap down, the maid fills the foreground; lifting it reveals the second state, opening the doorway to the mistress within.

The caption reads in the original French: On n’entre pas.
