How absolutely beautiful! We have no history on Mlle. Delmay, other than her name appearing in a number of theatrical reviews, among them reviews for operettas. She was well reviewed, and appears on a number of postcards, although this particular image is not one we could find duplicated anywhere.
Gorgeous trappings of bangles, ornate spirals embroidered on her vest, her costume is wonderful!
In this image, she looks as if she could pass for sixteen, but we think, given other images of her we've seen, that this is merely the talented Monsieur Boyer capturing a sweet innocence in the lens of his camera.
A lovely, lovely card in very nice posted condition. 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.
