Our Good Payéans — Distraction — G. Gervais, ed. Saulieu

Description

Satirical postcard depicting a group of men in peasant attire, one wearing a top hat, discussing with a prefect. The printed text at the bottom reads: « — You are thinking of us, Mr. Prefect? — Patience, patience, gentlemen, I will deal with the pigs later! ». On the reverse, handwritten text addresses the card to « Mr. and Mrs. Chapuis & Valentine, Bobigny » with a message: « We are having a beautiful stay, we must let you know what we have done. Kisses from all. H. A. Nicolas ». A 10-centime French Republic postal stamp is affixed at the top right, with a partially visible cancellation.
