Paris Vécu

Text and images copyright (c) 1995 Carolyn Daily O'Connor - used with permission.
In 1908, a stamp dealer, Andre Perlet of 50 Rue Molitor, mailed this card titled "Paris Vecu (The Real Paris) - Le Boulevard" to a young woman in Milwaukee. Addresses of several international clubs, including the Jolly Jokers Club frequented by Americans, take up the entire message area on the back, so Andre writes on the front -- in English --

I can send you in quantity, and according to your liking, all illustrated postcards; in exchange for them I desire postage stamps/U.S.A. of Service, Agriculture, Navy, Treasury, War, State, Interior, Post Office or other countries...
