Description
Paris in its golden age comes alive through this collection of postcards. Leonard Pitt's selection offers a fascinating glimpse into an era when Paris and the 'carte postale' were at their peak.
The postcards themselves are more than just ephemeral trinkets - they reveal a rich and vibrant social world, where over one million were produced and exchanged daily in the early years of the twentieth century. From romantic street-vendor exchanges to heartfelt letters from expats, these postcards capture the city's elegant and quaint side.
Revel in this exciting mix of landmark and anecdote, as Pitt brings the past to life through his carefully curated selection of postcards.
