The back of the card reads, A lovely and happy party to my dear Sis, Marie. We love it. Never encountered the word Soeurette before, the diminutive of sister. Language is so great....how in some of them, the diminutive is longer than the word itself!
Anyway, perfectly brilliant card. One of our favorite sort. Just love this kind of coloration, and though we do love the Bleuet cards, Noyer is simply incomparable. Fine condition too.
Great Reutlinger image of one of our favorite Belle Epoque dancers, Mlle. Lucy. Clearly a previous owner of this card was an enthusiastic fan, and decided to add a few Art Nouveau style decorations with gold paint. We have to say that their own personal touches do not detract, but add to the charm of this image.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
Postage is for first class shipping in a secure photo mailer, and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will refund the postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of sudden increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more.
