Description
Postcards – Selection: An exceptional set of three albums of vintage postcards offering a remarkable overview of the regions of France. This set stands out for the richness and diversity of its themes. It features, in particular, numerous scenes of the grape harvest, industrial views of Lyon and Saint-Étienne, bustling markets in Lyon and Paris – including several photo-postcards of Les Halles – as well as fairs, regional scenes, village gossip and depictions of peasants. Mining activities are extensively depicted, featuring miners, stonecutters and even views of gold mines. The collection also features an abundance of scenes of bustling villages, factory workers leaving work, farms and agricultural labour, life in the forest, instrument makers, customs officers, post offices, dog washers, May Day demonstrations, Parisian firefighters, horse-drawn carriages, beaches, auctions, wash houses, cider-making and rural trades. The various provinces are well represented: the Perche with its dog-drawn carriages, Anjou and its slate quarries, the Sarthe with its races, Brittany and its traditional weddings, the Cognac region, oyster farms, restaurants, shops, dairy farmers, herring fishermen, Arcachon, the Pyrenees, cafés, postmen, bull farms, and many other subjects besides. A very fine, high-quality collection. 3 albums. CPA.
