Few advertisements of the period borrow a character as dramatic as Antinea, the seductive queen of Pierre Benoit's novel *L'Atlantide*, which was a major success in France in 1919. This halftone reproduction, credited to illustrator Mario Simon, appeared in the Paris periodical *Feuillets d'Art* in December 1919 and uses that exotic, languid mood to sell French perfume. Its Art Nouveau styling recalls the decorative style that flourished around 1900 and still shaped French commercial design after the First World War. The record's details come from an unverified caption card, so the attribution and publication information should be checked against other sources.
