A young Chinese woman with lacquer parasol smelling a perfume flask, ancient China. A perfume seller sits next to a carpet with other scent bottles. In the background, labourers carry goods over a bridge and lotus flowers bloom in a pond. Smithsonian-process colour print after Art Deco master George Barbier from Richard le Gallienne’s Romance of Perfume, Hudnut, New York, 1928.
