Description : Noted by Broido, this unique poster promoting Massenet's opera has been created to resemble "a papyrus, torn, eaten away by the centuries. Orazi has created a poster that is the first to have such a curious form." Such a different design is in perfect harmony with the opera's plot, which takes place in Ancient Egypt during Byzantine rule. Drawn to the beautiful courtesan Thais, a Cenobite monk attempts to convert her from worshiping Venus to worshiping the Christian God. Ultimately, it is revealed that his interest in her is entirely rooted in lust, whereas her morals and sense of honor are far superior.
