Two Bathers at Saint-Valery-en-Caux, Normandy – Vintage French Postcard
Details
Two women in dark bathing costumes lie side by side at the water’s edge in Saint-Valery-en-Caux, Normandy. One rests her chin on her hand, while the other, wearing a dark headband, smiles at the camera. A green French 10-centime stamp sits in the upper right corner of the picture.
The printed caption reads “5119. SAINT-VALÉRY-EN-CAUX. — Baigneuses. — LL.” On the reverse, Maria writes to an address in Asnières. Her message begins with “Je vais bien” and goes on to say that she is enjoying her stay. The card bears a Saint-Valery-en-Caux postmark and the printer’s credit “Imp. Lévy Fils & Cie, Paris.”
Original postcard, landscape format. The paper shows age toning, light marks and some wear at the corners. Both scans show the actual card offered for sale.
