So what's the message of the postcard? That an unresponsive woman can inflict damage on a would-be lover man's right hand, eventually? That woman..."n'est qu'un mirage"...
Funny thing is that all that glitter makes her look like she's an operator with the headset and mouthpiece. So I'm thinking she's saying, "I understand sir, but you have to deposit 3 more francs to remain connected."
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!

T&L,
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, YES! I think she may be trying to sell him a subscription to Paris Match.
He looks like a mannequin. I like how his suit and tie were painted on. It fits him!

That hand thing is interesting. What, they never heard of Photoshop?!
ReplyDeleteThe case of the disappearing hand, and all for bliss.
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't his ring finger, which appears to be his left pinky sporting some kind of dandy rock!
ReplyDeleteThat is weird!
ReplyDeleteWhat a postcard:) Poor Frenchman......
