Summary

Description
English: "Know all men by these presents": Cover illustration shows a woman seated on the floor next to a table whose surface is covered with gifts. Above gifts from various gentlemen callers are displayed: a photograph, a corkscrew, a box, a purse, a fan and the book Of the Imitation of Christ. The blue in the woman's dress matches the blue of the background, creating a sense of negative space, typical of Phillips' "Fade-away girl". Published as cover illustration: Life magazine, January 27, 1910. One drawing: gouache, watercolor and charcoal over graphite underdrawing. Digital file from original. The name of the illustration is a play on a common introduction to a legal or official document, calling on all who see the document to take notice of its contents or subject matter.
Français : « Know all men by these presents* » : Illustration pour couverture montrant une femme assise sur le sol à côté d'une table couverte de cadeaux. Au dessus des cadeaux se trouvent plusieurs autres cadeaux accompagnés des cartes de visites de prétendants: Une photo, un tire-bouchon, une boîte, un porte-monnaie, un éventail et un livre titré «L'imitation du Christ». La robe bleue de la femme se fond dans le bleu de l'arrière plan, créant un sens d'espace négatif, typique du style de C. Phillips. Cette image a été publiée sur la couverture du magasine Life le 27 janvier 1910. Gouache, aquarelle et fusain sur une esquisse au crayon. Image digitalisée depuis l'original.
* Le titre est intraduisible: Il s'agit d'une formule légale utilisée pour des actes publics et comparable à la formule française « Avis à la population » , Prise au pied de la lettre, elle peut s'entendre « on connait tous les hommes par leurs cadeaux ».
Date Published in January 1910
