This is a vintage black and white illustration, likely a wood engraving, depicting a fantastical scene. A slender, ethereal figure, seemingly a woman or a spirit, is floating or falling through a star-filled sky. She is depicted in a flowing, almost serpentine pose, with long, wavy hair cascading around her. Her arms are wrapped around a large, luminous moon, cradling it as if it were a precious object. The moon is detailed with craters and textures, giving it a realistic appearance despite the overall fantastical nature of the image. The background is filled with numerous small stars, creating a dense and sparkling cosmic atmosphere. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of 19th-century Romantic or Symbolist art, with a focus on emotion, imagination, and the sublime. The image has a delicate and dreamlike quality, evoking a sense of wonder and mystery. At the bottom of the image, there is text in French: 'Voilà donc comment. (Page 90.)' which translates to 'So that's how. (Page 90.)'
