This is a brown paper poster with raised lines. On the left, a faint outline of a standing nude woman faces right. The paper is textured, like Braille, and the lines are uneven. The text lists plays and actors for *Le Théâtre Libre* in 1891. The top play, *La Dupe*, is a comedy in five acts. The embossed style makes the words and figure pop out when touched. Look up Charpentier, Alexandre to see how he used this technique in other works.
