" Eve Lavallière (des Varietes) la delicieuse Josephine de La Veine. "
| Loosely tranlsated Montoya's Poem reads:
Damoiselle Eve Lavalliere,
That this picture represents
The sympathetic facsimile
painted in water color,
By monsieur Cappiello,
Of a Singular beauty.
Not unlike Cora, the horsewoman,
- and I am to be ruined
for the hour, if I rode with her
for she is only a woman in disguise,
Damoiselle Eve Lavalliere
They say that you are not proud:
And perhaps I am drunk…
And my dream is mad:
But I would like your fingers in my collar,
For my necktie, until the end,
O Floppy necktie!
