Picture of the day

This image was selected as picture of the day on Wikimedia Commons for 18 July 2009. It was captioned as follows:

English: "Drink Coca-Cola 5¢", an 1890s advertising poster showing a woman in fancy clothes (partially vaguely influenced by 16th- and 17th-century styles) drinking Coke. The card on the table says "Home Office, The Coca-Cola Co. Atlanta, Ga. Branches: Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Dallas". Notice the cross-shaped color registration marks near the bottom center and top centre (which presumably would have been removed for a production print run). Someone has crudely written on it at lower left (with an apparent leaking fountain pen) "Our Faovrite" [sic].
The women who modeled for this artwork was Hilda Clark (1872-1932).

Français : «Buvez Coca-Cola 5 cents», publicité de 1890 montrant une femme avec des vêtements fantaisie (vaguement inspirés de la mode des XVIe - XVIIe siècles) buvant cette boisson. Sur la table, un feuille de papier ainsi rédigée «Maison mère: la Cie Coca-Cola, Atlanta, Géorgie. Succursales à Chicago, Philadelphie, Los angeles et Dallas». Les marques en forme de croix et le texte surajouté avec un stylo-plume qui fuit (Notre Faovri, sic) laisse à penser qu'il s'agit d'une épreuve. Chromolithographie.
