1900s - Vintage Paris Postcard - Sainte Genevieve Vigil - Style Art - Religious Ephemera - Historical Document With Anchor Charm

In the upper left, the iconic Paris coat of arms is displayed, featuring its ship on waves and the Latin motto 'Flvctuat Nec Mergitvr,' meaning 'She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.' This powerful phrase symbolizes the city's enduring resilience. Uniquely, a small, genuine metallic anchor charm with a miniature red, white, and blue tricolor ribbon is carefully affixed, adding a distinctive patriotic or commemorative detail to this historical artifact.

The postcard includes printed text 'Sainte Genevieve' and '(Puvis De Chavannes)' at the bottom. A poignant French poem underscores the saint's protective watch over Paris, with lines like 'C'est dans notre Paris, c'est au cœur de la France, Que nous gardons toujours une sainte Espérance'.
