Figure descriptions
Multi-part illustration. In the central section, a woman sits on a pillow on top of
a chair. She holds a mirror in her hand
and looks down at it. There is a small, ornate table next to her. An incense burner
stands on top of the table and emits smoke. The
wallpaper behind her is decorated with a foliate and vegetal pattern. This section
of the illustration is contained within a thick
single-ruled border and then superimposed over the second section of the illustration.
In the second section of the illustration,
the hand-drawn poem title, “VACUNA”, is placed within an intricate double-ruled border.
A garland hangs from the bottom edge of the
title’s border. The title, its border, and the garland, are superimposed over a large,
lightly shaded rectangle. This section
appears in the top-left corner of the illustration. The third section of the illustration
contains the byline and poem letterpress.
They are both placed on a scroll, which appears below the central section of the illustration.
Plants extend out from behind all
three sections of illustration. In some areas, the plants break the illustration’s
borders. Full page.
