I was rummaging through my escritoire tonight looking for a card to write a note to a friend, and came across this postcard, printed 1986, from a 1920 engraving of a George Barbier illustration. It depicts an assortment of WW I servicemen and their stylish escorts strolling the grounds of Versaille.


Barbier was a fashion illustrator and costume designer. His iconic, art deco style is recognizable and still popular in reprints, mugs and stationery today - or at least it was in 1986.

This card has been in my desk for years, but I just noticed the kilt for the first time tonight. I'm choosing a different note card to write to my friend.

Regards,
Rex.
