AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Authentic handwritten letter dated Sunday, August 8, 1949, written in Aurabelle and addressed to a recipient named Vivette. This old document features cursive writing in blue ink, characteristic of post-war correspondence in France. The paper, slightly yellowed by time, shows the natural wear and tear of period papers, while maintaining good readability on the visible side.

The visible content begins with "Chère Vivette," followed by several lines evoking personal news and the mention of a certain Alain de Gasquet, met that very morning. The author also mentions a dinner invitation and a family gathering planned in Aurabelle, giving this letter a historical and intimate interest specific to mid-20th century letters.

The sheet shows a slight curve, typical of old paper that has been stored folded. The header mentions the location "Aurabelle" and the complete date, indicating carefully dated correspondence. No logo or brand is present on the visible top of the document; the presentation remains sober, in accordance with the epistolary customs of the time.

The texture of the paper, perceptible in the photo, reveals a light grain and a matte surface, without any particular decoration. The well-preserved blue ink contrasts sharply with the cream background of the paper, allowing for easy reading of the words on the exposed part. No graphic elements, stamps, or illustrations are visible on this side.

This type of old handwritten letter is aimed at people looking for period documents, vintage correspondence pieces, or examples of 20th-century manual writing.

Condition

Used item and sold as-is. The letter shows signs of age with a slight patina, marked folds, and yellowed paper, but remains overall in good condition on the visible side. The writing remains legible and the ink does not show significant smudging.
