Antique BALLET Ballerina French postcard No. 1

Postcards : Glamour Ladies

 

This is one of 6 antique French postcards I have in this series entitled "Star of the Opera: The Toilet and the Finery before the Ballet." Each one of these is a real photo postcard that has been color tinted by hand. The detail is incredible: note the painting of a dancer on the wall, gold leaf highlights, the floral pattern in the screen/room divider. This one, No. 2, is extra special with all the detail in the ballerina's costume. There are 10 cards in this series and I only have 6 of them. That's why I'm willing to sell them individually. Each one is unused, with an undivided back, which dates its printing to 1903 or earlier. No creases or tears. Any signs of wear irrelevant considering their age. Do use the zoom feature, but remember: what you see when first open the listing is how the card looks to the naked eye, holding it in your hand. When you double click on the picture and it enlarges, that's like looking at it under a magnifying glass. BUY ALL SIX and I'll give you a $10 discount!
