Doux Souvenir (Sweet Memory), Antique French Hand-drawn Postcard with Bird articulated wooden dogs A very nicely carved old

A very nicely carved old tower of a whimsy

and terrific treatment of those white sheets and pillow

when apparently they were commonly seen in saloons and cigar shops

Doux Souvenir (Sweet Memory), Antique French Hand-drawn Postcard with Bird articulated wooden dogs A very nicely carved oldThe French "Doux souvenir" translates more or less to "sweet memory" in English and I must say a dove and lilies of peace feel like something of a sweet, increasingly distant memory indeed:( Quite nicely done, wonderful bird, pen and ink in blue and red and green, c. first decade of the 20th century I believe. 5 1 2" x 3 1 4" and in very good condition. One small crease coming in from right edge, as documented, very minor.
