Raphael Tuck "Oilette" art postcard of Les Buttes-Chaumont in Paris, rendered in the rich chromolithographic oil-paint style characteristic of the Oilette series. The scene depicts the Temple de la Sibylle (Belvedere) on its rocky island promontory, with autumn foliage in warm russets and golds surrounding the circular Corinthian pavilion. A fashionably dressed Belle Époque woman in a vivid pink skirt and feathered hat descends the stone path in the right foreground, while other visitors are visible inside the belvedere above. The scene glows with the impressionistic palette and decorative quality of the Oilette series at its finest. Raphael Tuck & Sons, "Picturesque Paris," Series I, Postcard 7168.
