Art Postcard Paris France By Strolling Champs-Elysees Avenue Yvon Antique RARE Features: A RARE FIND! Nice antique original postcard Unposted Approximate dimensions as photographed Yvon, a Paris photographer born Pierre Yves Petit, turned out simple postcards with scenic views of his city. He launched his postcard business in order to take advantage of the increasing tourism in Paris, operating Éditions d’art d’Yvon from his family’s apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He included his signature on his postcards, reflecting an early understanding of brand marketing. And he took his pictures early or late in the day when the sky was at its most dramatic, and his scenes would convey romantic, melancholic and even playful moods.In many of Yvon’s images it is not uncommon to see landmarks such as Sacré Coeur or the Louvre looming in the background while life, often blurred, passes in the foreground. His postcards serve as mementos not only of the city’s buildings, gardens and monuments, but also of Paris’ celebrated street life.Condition: Antique: This is an antique item that shows wear commensurate with age as photographed.
