The image is a vintage poster from 1917, titled "Achetez le timbre antituberculeux." It depicts an illustration of a nurse in white attire with a red cross on her chest. She stands next to a railing overlooking a scene where children are playing by the water's edge and two men wearing hats appear to be observing them from afar.
The poster is predominantly colored, showcasing green trees, blue sky, and brown ground, which suggest an outdoor setting during daylight hours. The nurse is holding onto the railing with her left hand while resting it on a ledge or wall in front of her right arm. She has dark hair under her white headscarf but no visible facial features.
In the background scene, there are several children engaged in various activities such as swimming and walking along the edge of what appears to be a pond or river. Two men with hats can also be seen standing at some distance from each other behind one of the women who is observing them. The overall atmosphere seems light-hearted and carefree.
The text on the poster reads "Achetez le timbre antituberculeux" which translates to "Buy the tuberculosis stamp." This implies that the purpose of this poster was likely an awareness campaign or fundraising effort for tuberculosis-related causes during World War I.
