6. Untitled. French photo postcard with tinted colors. Part of a series of three (that I know of). First postcard: Lady Bathing by herself; 2nd postcard: Man comes up behind her (shown); 3rd postcard: Man slips on her shoes, and she discovers him. This one says in French, "Mais epris, une flamme aux yeux. Voici venir un amoureux" Translation: But in Love, a flame in his eyes. Here comes a lover. The card is also marked with the no 1138, and ELD. This card was unsent, and the back, "Postcard" is written in 7 languages, with "Carte Postale" the largest. Most likely printed for France. No date, but probably printed in 1910-20s. Perhaps this postcard series lived in someone's sock drawer for a few decades! ooh la la.
