A photo of Rosa Bonheur’s Permit from the police, allowing her to “dress like a man,” or wear pants while working. On top of an aged background with a quote from Rosa Bonheur. The quote is: “I was forced to recognize that the clothing of my sex was a constant bother. That is why I decided to solicit the authorization to wear men’s clothing from the prefect of police.”
