The manufacture date is narrowed to the very beginning of the divided back era in France. The reverse side features a specific warning that correspondence on the front is not accepted by all foreign countries, which was a standard notice during the transitional years of 1904 and 1905. The handwritten French message is addressed to a \"Chere Brunette\" and mentions being happy at the site of the Blessed Virgin. The sender, Chichette, writes about returning to Toulouse the following day. This personal note adds archival value to this record of the Lourdes landscape before the significant expansions of the later twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46733463814333,"sku":"3153","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/3153.jpg?v=1777857392","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/3153","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
