"The maid is in the parlor,
Lounging in my chair.
Milady's in the boudoir,
Fiddling with her hair.
I'd love to chat the maid up,
And offer her a rose,
But if Milady wanders in,
She'll toss me on my nose."
And well she might, you dog, you! Awesome risque French postcard that falls under a particularly sought after category, and for why? Because French maid, of course :) Risque French maid images are difficult to find, and last in our shop for about as long as paper moon RPPCs, so if you love this one, better snap it up!
This model is a particular favorite of ours. Dark, Mediterranean features like those of Mlle. Gabrielle Robinne, the famous French star of stage and screen, and always a very engaging smile, but best of all are those eyes of hers, eyes that might be almost Betty Boop in quality, if they weren't such a lovely almond shape.
Nice, unposted, condition on this one by P-C Paris (Papetery de Levallois Clichy).
