1910s - Antique French New Year Postcard - Belle Epoque Sepia Photo - Elegant Couple - Mistletoe - Good Fortune Greeting Card

The postcard features a young man on the left, dressed in a sophisticated dark suit with a light vest and a boutonnière. He holds aloft a branch adorned with small green leaves and white blossoms, symbolic of new year's blessings. Beside him, an elegant woman, adorned in a flowing light-colored gown with subtle pink vertical stripes, clutches a pink rose and a similar branch. Her dress features intricate embroidery and a distinct blue sash, typical of the era's fashion. Both figures gaze directly at the viewer with pleasant expressions.

Printed at the top right, the card features the ornate greeting 'Bonne Année,' which translates to 'Happy New Year.' The bottom of the postcard carries the poetic sentiment: 'Sur le sentier Fleuri de la nouvelle année, Le gui nous conduira vers notre destinée!' This translates to 'On the flowered path of the new year, Mistletoe will lead us towards our destiny!' The publisher's mark 'Furia 685/5' is also visible. This vintage piece offers a charming window into a bygone era of celebratory greetings and romantic symbolism.
