# Page Description This is an interior illustration page from an early 20th-century pulp magazine, featuring a portrait photograph of a woman in an elegant black sleeveless dress with a pearl necklace, set within an ornate decorative frame. Below the portrait is a caption crediting the illustration to "Ira L. Hill" that reads: "A grace of early Italy lingers about Alma Rubens. Actually a charming, modern young woman, artistically Alma possesses a poignancy too subtle to be exactly twentieth-century." The page appears designed to introduce or promote a character or story involving someone named Alma Rubens, presented with classical artistic styling typical of pulp magazine illustration pages of that era.
