Description

This is a Very Rare collection of Turn of the century French Carte Postale, With a beautiful Art Nouveau album (C. 1904-5)In brown and gilt with Faded Violet pages. As you will see from the informative first page, this is the luxury model provided by this company at the time.

This is the second and last part of a collection i managed to aquire at a small antiques shop in Toulouse,

The other one has found a nice home and now its time for this one to do the same. I have been told by a local collector that many of these cards are nearly impossible to find and quiete high in value individually. This book is perfect for resale or just to add to an existing collection. 

The album itself contains 40 pages for cards and while many spaces are free There are a large number of cards in this book. Well In excess of 300 and most of them are in excellent/good condition. The cards are varied and date from approx 1890-1915 with a wide assortment of scenes and conditions.

There are cards depicting Photo scenes and illustrations of famous places such as
