"The Madame B Album" (c. 1870s) is a photo-album page by Marie-Blanche Hennelle Fournier (1831-1906), which is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The page depicts a woman in a window frame, framed by an elaborate floral border featuring delicate red flowers and green vines. Fournier's detailed approach to this piece is characteristic of her work, which emphasized the use of flowers and other intricate designs.
