OBVERSE

On the front, the sailboat Pourquoi Pas? is depicted with all sails furled, in the middle of the ice floes of the South Pole. The icebergs and a planisphere centered on the pole can be seen in the background.

The whole is surrounded by a rope referring to the world of sailing.

REVERSE

The reverse is a common construction of sailing ships found on all five pieces in this collection, with the ship's helm and jibs.

The question mark on the sail symbolizes the unique name of this sailboat and recalls its mouth flap.
