Additional Information
The production date is narrowed to 1913-1918. The back of the card features the imprint Anciens Etab. Neurdein et Cie. - E. Crete, Succ., which identifies the period immediately following the 1913 merger and acquisition involving the Neurdein firm and the printer Ernest Crété. The company address at 52 Av. de Breteuil, Paris, was the primary headquarters for this combined entity during the mid-1910s. The card is numbered 521 in the series. The uncirculated condition beautifully preserves the fine architectural detail and the textures of the Mediterranean gardens.
