Title: Jordaens Satyr and Peasant Brussels 1905
Description: 1905? Black-and-white photographic postcard of J(acob) Jordaens’ “The Satyr and the Peasant.” Brussels Museum. “123 LL.” $6 from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne-Ricouart, France, Sept., ’20.

Compare this card with a similar card below, perhaps a few years earlier. Strangely, the typeface elements at a 90 degree angle from the image seem to be typewritten! Black-and-white representations of paintings seem to us in retrospect, I believe, to be so unfair to what a painting is! We can be grateful that technology came up with colored representations!
