📸 Front (Image & Style)
Publisher/Mark: AXIS 731 (bottom left). AXIS was a French publisher well-known for sentimental and romantic real photo postcards.
Scene: A fashionable young couple in a staged embrace, surrounded by lush potted flowers. His hand on her chin, her coy glance — classic turn-of-the-century staged intimacy.
Caption (French):
“Le baiser est un fruit qu’on cueille en souriant,
Et que l’on croque à deux lorsque l’on a vingt ans.”
Translation: “A kiss is a fruit one plucks with a smile, and that one bites into together at twenty years old.”
Style Influence: Edwardian romantic photography meets late Art Nouveau decorative framing (floral overload, painterly backdrop).
✉️ Back
Unused postcard — no message, stamp, or postmark.
Standard French “CARTE POSTALE” layout, circa 1905–1915.
