A European couple is enjoying a serene evening on their terrace in Algiers - a tableaux based on the lines of Victor Hugo's poem "La Captive," taken from his Orientales. "I love these lands / With their sweet burning scents / Against the golden panes / The trembling leaves / The water that courses from the spring / Under the leaning palm / And the white stork / On the ivory minaret." The only indication that the poster is promoting a shipping company is the ocean liner depicted in the harbor. Orientalist p. 16, La Mer p. 59, Suez p. 24.
