The Foolish Virgins, by Auguste Gendron
c.1887 Gebbie & Co. Photogravure, printed by Goupil
Five gorgeous, classically-dressed woman hover near a door. One attempts to look over the transom, another, through the keyhole. A couple of them hold oil-lamps. The print is in excellent condition with no signifcant age toning. A few minor fox spots exist at the extreme margin edge; the image area is flawless. It is on very heavy paper, and printed in a beautiful brown-black ink. The plate impression is clearly visible. The margins are bigger than shown here, the print being 12 inches by 17 inches; the image area is 10 inches by 7 inches. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
