Lot of 4 old postcards Entrecasteaux Var black and white village

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of four antique postcards, all illustrating views of the village of Entrecasteaux, located in the Var department, in Provence. The cards are in black and white, typical of editions from the early to mid-20th century. Each highlights a different aspect of local heritage, with a photographic composition revealing the aesthetic of old postcards.

The first card, captioned "Entrecasteaux (Var) - Le Cours," shows an avenue lined with bare trees, pedestrians, and traditional buildings aligned on the left. The details of the scene, such as the clothing worn and the attitudes of the characters, evoke the atmosphere of a Provencal village of yesteryear.

The second card is marked "Riforan, par Entrecasteaux (Var)" and presents a clear view of a large building in the center, surrounded by a vast wooded area. The composition highlights the architecture and green spaces characteristic of the region.

The third card is titled "Entrecasteaux - Var - Place du Courtil" and is distinguished by the presence of a cancelled red stamp. It depicts a group of villagers near a fountain and a stone staircase, in front of old facades. The scene captures the daily life and authenticity of the village.

The fourth card indicates "Entrecasteaux - Rue du Bassin et du Rocher" and represents a narrow street lined with stone walls, with several inhabitants posing in front of the camera. The ensemble testifies to the picturesque charm of old Provencal streets.
