VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage illustration depicting a woman perched precariously atop a tall, narrow pillar. She appears to be in the midst of her daily routine, nonchalantly applying makeup while sitting at such an unusual and dangerous height. The image exudes a whimsical yet satirical vibe, possibly commenting on housing issues with the caption "LA CRISE DU LOGEMENT MAL RÉSOLUE" which translates to "The poorly resolved housing crisis. " In the background, iconic Parisian landmarks like the Eiffel Tower suggest that this scene is set in Paris. The text above reads "À LA MANIÈRE DE SAINT-SIMÉON STYLITE, " referencing St. Simeon Stylites who was known for living on top of a pillar as an ascetic practice; here it's humorously applied to modern life challenges such as finding suitable accommodation.
