Description: Description:This antique French postcard from the early 1900s features a charming New Year’s (Bonne Année) greeting. The scene depicts two elegantly dressed women, possibly a mother and daughter, standing beside a large decorative sled. A small dog, a Papillon, peeks from the girl’s arms, adding a warm and whimsical touch to this winter scene. Hand-tinted accents highlight the figures’ clothing and sled, evoking the aesthetics of the Belle Époque era. This postcard was mailed, as evidenced by the 5-cent green French stamp and handwritten message on the reverse.
