AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This French telephone card, known as a "Télécarte," features an illustrated side with a multicolored visual collage typical of 90s design. The front of the card displays an assembly of various photographs and patterns: dance scenes, a child's portrait, nighttime urban views, a film strip, and artistic elements. The whole is dominated by a palette of blues, blacks, and vibrant touches, creating a dynamic and emblematic visual effect of the period.

In the upper right, the inscription "BNVT Passionnément Télécarte" is visible in white and blue lettering, overprinted on the images. In the lower left, "Télécarte 50" is written, indicating a capacity of 50 units, typical of the smart cards used in French telephone booths in the late 20th century. The golden electronic chip is clearly visible on the left, characteristic of French télécartes from that era.

The visible surface is smooth and shiny, with a slightly iridescent appearance under light. The corners are rounded, in accordance with the standard format of French telephone cards. No major defects are visible on the photographed side: no notable chips or scratches, the overall presentation is clean and neat. The colors remain vibrant and the graphics intact.

The graphic style, the combination of black and white and color photographs, and the typography place this télécarte within the visual trend of the 1990s. This type of object was then very common in France, used both for daily communication and as a promotional or commemorative medium.

The card is photographed on a yellow-orange textile background, which enhances its blue tones and effectively contrasts with the golden chip and the different patterns on the front.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The front is in excellent visual condition, with no noticeable defects or apparent alterations on the photographed area.

Did you know? Chip télécartes were introduced in France in the early 1980s and became a real social phenomenon in the 90s, both for their use and for their graphic and advertising dimension. Certain special series, like this one, were published for campaigns or events, and their design often reflects the artistic trends of their decade.
