Card depicts
Henriette Caillaux being held in prison for the murder of Gaston
Calmettte. Her cell is the famous "Pistole n. 12" which was reserved for
prisoners with special privileges. She is shown in the cell fashionably
dressed. She is sitting playing the piano and singing. One of the
prison sisters is standing at her side turning the pages of the music.
The door to the cell is open, and the prison card stands outside. A
short song with musical notation is at the bottom of the card. The tune
is "Le Trouvere". Artist: Ch. Rocher
