Lot of 7 old postcards Flayosc Var squares streets village vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of seven old postcards depicting various views of Flayosc, a village in the Var department. The visuals show scenes of streets, squares, and typical architecture of southeastern France, with a predominance of bare trees, stone facades, and village life. Several cards bear the mention "Flayosc" accompanied by the designation of the place, such as "La Place", "La Grande Rue", or "Place de la Réunesse", which attests to their local authenticity.

The cards feature black and white or sepia photographs, typical of productions from the first half of the 20th century. One can observe characters in period clothing, horse-drawn carriages and market scenes, as well as architectural details such as arches, old facades, and traditional shutters. One of the cards has a green 5-centime stamp, which suggests prior postal use.

The general presentation is that of horizontal postcards, some with a white margin at the bottom where the place name is inscribed. The printed captions are clearly visible on several examples: "Flayosc – La Place", "Flayosc – La Grande Rue", "Flayosc Var – Place de la Réunesse" or "Entrée du village – Flayosc Var". The illustrations reflect an old photographic style, sometimes with slight blur or marked contrasts, typical of the silver halide processes of the time.

Some examples show signs of wear: blunted corners, small tears or ripple marks on the edges, and signs of use. One card has a curled corner and another has slight discoloration on one corner. These signs of age contribute to their authenticity and visual charm.

The lot offers a variety of viewpoints of Flayosc: perspectives of narrow streets under arches, clear views of tree-lined squares, scenes animated by inhabitants or merchants. The graphic aspect and framing of the photos convey a bygone era, while highlighting the architectural heritage and Provençal atmosphere of the village.
