Description: This is a really outstanding find! Someone kept their full set of French royalty post cards together. There is a note on the front "Purchased at Blois (castle) June 26, 1929". The full set is 101 cards showing all kings, queens, and assorted historical figures (Joan of Arc, Diane Du Poitiers, etc.). The engravings are printed on very high quality linen paper with a rough uncut natural border. I'm a history geek, so I thought these were just about the coolest thing ever. They would make a wonderful decorating statement framed en masse. There are 101 cards in the full set. There is a duplicate of Francois I which is on traditional postcard material for the time (the first copy in the same paper as the rest of the set). Condition: Good condition. Never written upon or mailed. Only mentionable issue: very light edge discoloration from oxidation on most cards. Some, but very few, cards show more discoloration (see photos). Dimensions: Each card 3.5" x 5.5". Set is 2" tall. Unpacked weight: 13.5 ounces Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
