We've had this postcard for sale at different times. Lovely Miss Eliza Ridgely plays the harp. No one's liked her enough to buy the postcard yet. (Artist was Sully).

I think she's very pretty!

Paris France Eglise St-Paul-St-Louis UDB Postcard 100 Years Old FREE SHIPPING


For sale is an undivided back pre-1907 early 20th century postcard "Paris, Eglise St-Paul".

Black and white beautifully detailed architecture on this postcard! Enjoy the costumes of 100 years ago on the many people walking below on the street.

Address:
99 Rue St-Antoine
Paris, Ils-de-France 75004

Description:
This Jesuit church has something of interest for all of the traditional visitors of Paris: the history buff, the architecture aficionado, and the art lover. From the time that Louis XIII laid the first stone in 1627, until 1762 when the Jesuits were expelled from France, this church was a prominent symbol of the Jesuit influence. In the period of the Revolution, most of the church's treasures were taken; however some remain, most notably Delacroix's "Christ in the Garden of Olives." If artwork is not what you are in search of, the church's 195-ft dome (forerunner to those of the Invalides and the Sorbonne) should provide a sense of awe, and the Roman-style nave will certainly provide a unique connection with times of old.

Rating: Very Good. Some light corner bending and aging.

This is so gay



For sale is an RPPC showing two gentlemen, one with his hand on the other's shoulder, each with cigarettes.

Maybe I'm reading into this, but it looks ever so gay. Sometimes when people post these on eBay, they'll say "gay interest", but we decided to let the picture speak for itself. Then again, it's a different time. Maybe men just put their arms around each others shoulders?

AZO stamp box, circa 1904-1918. The card is divided back, so it is after 1907.
