Description:

A woman rendered in a style reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints tilts her head slightly aside as a red cape billows dramatically in the wind.

The caption reads in the original French: Danaé—Cape du soir de Paul Poiret.

This volume of collected issues is dated 1914 on the title page, but the colophon of the last issue says “Printed on June 15, 1915.”
