Description:

A woman in elaborately draped attire is shown at full length, standing on a paved terrace flanked by two pedestals bearing vases of roses. She faces the viewer, illuminated by light spilling from the nearby house, while behind her, trees are rendered as black silhouettes against the night sky.

The caption reads in the original French: Elle s’appelle Manon.—Cape du soir de Doucet.

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.”
