1909 vintage postcard.
A man wearing a straw boater hat stands reaching his hand to the top of one of the boulders. He is viewing the Chaos of the Apremont Gorges.
The publisher and printer of this postcard is Lucien Ménard (often credited as L. Ménard), based out of Fontainebleau, France.
You can identify this by the circular logo stamped directly at the bottom of the central divided back line. The logo text reads "L. MÉNARD / IMPRIMEUR / FONTAINEBLEAU" arranged in a circular design.
History: Lucien Ménard started out as a local photographer before expanding his business into a prominent regional commercial printer and postcard editor/publisher in 1902. He is highly recognized among collectors for his extensive series documenting the Palace of Fontainebleau and its surrounding regions.
