Book Description
La carte postale semble passée de mode, succombant à l'emploi de messages électroniques. Pourtant, outre son intérêt toujours actuel pour manifester une pensée à quelqu'un, un regard plus attentif en perçoit sa richesse historique, géographique, sociologique, voire ethnologique. Elle est tantôt signe d'un petit geste de l'expéditeur, tantôt révélatrice de grands ou menus évènements dont ce dernier est témoin ou acteur. Fondé sur plus de 170 cartes postales anciennes, surtout d'avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, issues de 37 départements français et de 34 pays étrangers, l'ouvrage s'attache autant à la correspondance qu'à la photo véhiculées. Un commentaire replace le tout dans son contexte pour tenter d'en saisir la signification.

Book Description
"The perfumed card is an ideal way of perceiving a fragrance, to discover a perfume. These cards, sought after by many collectors, have today become object d'art thanks to the talents of the artists who illustrated them combined with the technical progress in lithographic printing that came into use from the end of the 19th century. These masterpieces of perfumed paper are the itinerant ambassadors both ephemeral and everlasting, of a perfume, its image, its substance and appearance. Illuminated with an infinite richness of original designs, copies of posters or press illustrations, enormous numbers of these cards were produced up to the middle of this century. At the end of the fifties the dominance of the cards declined, over-shadowed by an unequalled past splendour and the arrival of the miniature as the vehicle of discovery. Here they are once again? These cards are now to be perfumed at the moment of ones choosing, with the first drops of a scent. The creativity of new companies, the latest methods of printing and cutting have given a new charm to these cards that has not escaped the notice of collectors. Ancient or modern, they remain objects of passion. To relate their story, Women and Perfumed Cards... The story of the scented gesture has a theme dedicated to woman, thanks to the fine collection of one of the authors, Marina Sebbag, and also to the original cards designed expressly for this book by some great names of fashion and design. Also included are menus, calendars, invoices and share certificates of perfume companies... a journey through the vast territories of the perfumed gesture."--back cover.

Book Description
In the last years of the nineteenth century, the Tunisian city of Qayrawān suddenly found itself covered in murals. Concentrated on and around the city’s Great Mosque, these monumental artworks were only visible for about fifty years, from the 1880s through the 1930s. This book investigates the fascinating history of who created these outdoor paintings and why. Using visual archaeological methods, William Gallois reconstructs the visual history of these works and vividly brings them back to life. He locates pictorial records of the murals from the backdrops of photographs, postcards, and other forms of European ephemera. In Qayrawān, he identifies a form of religious painting that transposed traditional aesthetic forms such as house decoration, embroidery, and tattooing—which lay exclusively within the domains of women—onto the body of a conquered city. Gallois argues that these works were created by women as a form of “emergency art,” intended to offer amuletic protection for the community, and demonstrates how they differ markedly from “classical” Islamic antecedents and modern modes of Arab cultural production in the Middle East and North Africa. Based on extensive archival research, this study is both a record of a unique moment in the history of art and a challenge to rethink the spiritual force and agency of a group of anonymous female artists whose paintings aspired to help save the world at a time of great peril. It will be welcomed by scholars of art history, Islamic studies, Middle East studies, and the history of magic.
