About this work

This image is a poster with a mix of text and drawings. On the left side, there’s a list of names and roles for a play called *Le Chariot de Terre Cuite*. The right side shows a sketchy, blue-lined scene of people in a temple-like setting, with one figure kneeling in the center. The background has swirling patterns and what looks like a chariot or cart. The text mentions characters like "Brahmanes, guerriers, marchands," which means priests, warriors, and merchants. The poster’s style is loose and sketchy, not super detailed. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this.
