1880? Portrait postcard "Les Femmes et le Secret." Le Sourire Nr. 226. Les Fables de "La Fontaine." Illustration by A(lphonse) Robert. €15.99 from mundusvetus through Ebay, July, '22.
Here is a curious card. I can find no others in the series. Alphonse Robert died in 1880. That is why I choose the last year of his life to date this card. The stance and expression of the man here beg, I believe, for interpretation. I have seen only seldom this approach to quoting a text: leaving out whole sections, perhaps to accommodate a long fable to a limited space. This is exceptional color work! Might it make the card much later? This seems to be a thoroughly modern card, in its exact coloring, in its creative arrangement of the figures, and in the man's perhaps cynical (?) attitude! |
