This is one of a series of eighteen lithographs created in Paris in about 1910 by a French artist who signs himself "Laviny". Their subject matter is of beautiful women dressed in fantastical and extraordinary costumes which represent various aspects of Paris. Whilst the outfits are ultra-fashionable in silhouette, they are very exaggerated and were probably not intended to be made up in real-life, but were made to amuse and for decorative purposes. The lithographs were printed by Fattorini et Crespin of Paris.

This embodiment of the Paris press is one of the most creative and unusual costumes in the set, with many intriguing references. Her hat is in the form of a bottle of ink and she carries an outsize feather quill-pen and has an enormous pair of scissors slung at her side like a sword. A piece of folded-paper origami is attached to her chest, and she wears the vibrantly-patterned leggings of a Commedia dell'arte Harlequin, under a short skirt made up from strips of newsprint over a short lace petticoat. The top of her dress appears to be made up of five musical instrument strings strung around her shoulders, to which a monocle is attached. She has a short red cape lined with ermine which appears to only cover one half of her back, and wears one long opera glove, whilst the other arm is bare. The complete ensemble was probably intended to represent the multiple viewpoints and approaches of the press.
