Description
To mark the 150th anniversary of the postcard in France, La Poste is reissuing 10 cards illustrating the golden age of the postcard (i.e. up to the 1920s) with a stamp used at the time on the reverse, making them ready to mail and travel as pre-stamped cards at the international rate. Many illustrators lent their talent to postcards. Those illustrated by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), Hungarian poster artist, painter and illustrator, and Raphaël Kirchner (1875-1917), Austrian draughtsman, painter and illustrator, were highly prized for their beauty. The latter designed some very elegant postcard series, such as "La Favorite", or "Femmes soleil", from which this card is taken, circa 1900.
