Description

Period letter, dated March 11, 1924, from the Société Provençale des Chasseurs Réunis, Mazargues section in Marseille. This old document is typewritten on official letterhead, visible in the upper left: "SOCIÉTÉ PROVENÇALE DES CHASSEURS RÉUNIS MAZARGUES". The letterhead is followed by the date and place of issue, "Marseille, March 11, 1924", as well as the handwritten name of the recipient.

The typewritten text occupies most of the page and shows clear writing, typical of administrative correspondence from the early 20th century. The letter thanks the recipient for his commitment and mentions his appointment as an honorary member of the society. A round, purple ink stamp, with the inscription "S. PROVENÇALE DES CHASSEURS RÉUNIS" and a leaping deer motif, is affixed to the lower left, attesting to the authenticity of the document.

The handwritten signature of the president, "Faure", appears in the lower right, under the typewritten mention "Le Président". The paper shows marked folds, particularly a crumpled upper left corner, characteristic of a document preserved for almost a century. The edges are slightly curved, with no major tears visible on the presented side.

The text is entirely legible on the visible part of the letter. The whole is placed on a dark wooden desk, with an old bookcase and a globe in the background, reinforcing the authentic and patrimonial atmosphere of the document.

This type of letter, with its typographic letterhead, official stamp, and handwritten signature, constitutes concrete evidence of associative and hunting life in the Marseille region in the early 20th century. The visible elements evoke the administrative rigor and solemnity of period correspondence.

Did you know? At the beginning of the 20th century, the Société Provençale des Chasseurs Réunis brought together active members in the defense of hunting interests around Marseille, particularly in Mazargues, a historically rural district. Hunting societies were then major players in the fight against poaching and the management of local wildlife, in close connection with municipal authorities.
