Two lovely young stage performers, Miss Amy, and Miss Remple, in charming, off the shoulder costume, hand-tinted, such gorgeous braids. Please note the "star" mark in the bottom corner. This is the production mark of Monsieur G. Piprot, who operated a postcard production company out of number 2 Rue de l'Amsterdam in Paris. He made use of a process called emaillographie, which like the process oranotypie, (used by the prodigious Mr. Steglitz of Germany), was intended to add depth and clarity to the postcard print. The famous Walery, also Nadar, and many other famous Parisian photographers of the time were often published by M. Piprot under his star label. Not so common, were images actually photographed by G. Piprot, as were these two wonderful cards.
Quite nice condition on both. Please examine our high res scans for detail. We have room only for four scans, so we are giving you two full size fronts, and two close crops, but only one back. The two cards were posted by the same individual, in a lovely hand, and in violet ink, and are very similar in appearance, but please feel free to request a scan of the second card's back. It is only an Etsy convo away!
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 beginning today, when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free!
