Description

Humorous postcard illustrating a local tradition where wine replaces holy water at a baptism, with five scenes: a vicar blessing a newborn with wine, a priest sprinkling a censer, a winemaker drinking, an old man holding a glass of wine in a vineyard, and a man blessing himself with a glass of wine in front of a cross. Printed text recounts the story of a grandfather winemaker. Reverse: publisher 'FRANCE TOURISTIQUE', printer 'COMBIER MACON (71. S.&L.)' and serial number 'PP.999.00.1773'.
