Notes

The following description was provided by James Gardiner: A French Greetings card, a sepia-toned real photo montage, displaying a popular 'fantasy' theme, romantic words spelled in cigarette smoke. This image has distinctly 'camp' overtones; the subject very heavily made up, a cigarette delicately held in a manicured hand sporting a jewelled 'pinkie' ring.
