Description
A woman standing in a seemingly underwater room with glass walls leans over a tall, cup-shaped fish-tank and teases the small fish swimming inside with a twig. A man whose body is entirely off-frame follows the operations attentively.
The caption reads in the original French: L’étourdissant petit poisson…—Robe d’été
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.”
