Description

This old phone card features a full-color illustration of Gustave Ferrié, a major figure in the history of French telecommunications. The card is in the classic rectangular format, with rounded corners and a visible gold electronic chip on the front, characteristic of French phone cards from the 1990s.

The visual shows an artistic portrait of Gustave Ferrié, dressed in a dark jacket and a white shirt, seated in front of a set of scientific instruments, depicted in pastel and metallic tones. The background is solid blue, highlighting the central illustration and the name "Gustave Ferrié" inscribed in white letters to the right of the gold logo. The logo evokes a printed circuit board pattern, typical of chip phone cards from that era.

In the bottom right, the inscription "Télécarte 50" indicates that it is a card with a capacity of 50 units, a common format in the 1990s for public phone calls in France. No other text or apparent number is visible on this side. The dominant colors are blue, gold, and beige, with touches of gray and purple in the portrait.

The visible surface has a smooth appearance, without major scratches or obvious signs of wear in the image. The edges appear sharp and the electronic chip is intact. This card belongs to a series dedicated to great inventors, highlighting French scientific heritage.

This type of phone card, also called a "phonecard" or "chip card," is sought after for its design, its historical theme, and its faithful representation of an emblematic scientific figure.
