This original vintage photo postcard from Belgium showcases the serene interior of the Maison de Repos de Westende, specifically the charming drinkzaal (refreshment room). The sepia-toned image captures an early 20th-century setting with wicker and wooden chairs arranged around tables draped with patterned cloths, adorned with simple floral centerpieces. The room's tall windows and decorative paneling reflect period architectural details, evoking a quiet, restful atmosphere.Printed in the divided back era (1907-1915), this postcard was produced by Émr. Thill, Bruxelles, a noted Belgian publisher. The reverse side features bilingual French and Dutch text describing the Maison des Invalides' rest home in Westende, a charitable institution based in Brussels. Measuring the standard postcard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this collectible piece offers a glimpse into Belgium's social care history and early postcard artistry. Ideal for collectors interested in Belgian memorabilia, vintage interiors, or historical postcard photography.
