I’ve had this one in my collection for several years. It’s an amazing antique French letter! The letter is addressed to Madame Sugat? Sugart? in Paris and was sent from Boulogne, as you can see by the postmark. This wonderful ephemera image dates to the 1830s. I’ve included 2 versions, a cleaned up color version, as well as a black and white one. Wouldn’t this make a fabulous French pillow, or gorgeous on a lampshade?!!

June 29, 2011 at 5:02 pmI’m not sure if I ever posted a comment to tell you how much I love your site. I am amazed at all the info you so generously share with us – and this one is (also) terrific! So many ideas… so little time!
I’m in the process of putting together my own blog – your clip art and backgrounds really, really fit right in with my style. Thank you so much – and I’ll keep you posted on my progress. 😀

June 3, 2013 at 8:16 pmKaren, Absolutely love this postmark. You are so generous to give all this away for free. Is there any chance of getting it in reverse so I can run it off on the computer?. My computer will not reverse it, I would surely appreciate it. Thanks Kathy
