The artistic precedent
of merging visions
of seductive beauty
with the haunting
spectre of death
dated back to the
Victorian Age, most
memorably with the
work "All Is
Vanity" by
Allan C. Gilbert.
The drawing "L'Amour
de Pierrot"
depicts another
variation on this
theme, and was published
on a French postcard
in 1905.
