This original photo postcard from Belgium depicts the serene reading room (Salon de lecture / Leeszaal) of the Maison de repos de Westende, part of the Maison des Invalides, a nonprofit respite house in Westende, Belgium. The sepia-toned image showcases a cozy interior with wicker chairs, floral tablecloths, a piano, and a distinctive brick fireplace, reflecting early 20th-century European architectural and interior design styles. Printed by Erm. Thill, Bruxelles, this postcard dates from the divided back era (1907-1915), a key period for collectors appreciating authentic vintage postcards. The card's divided back allows space for writing and address, typical of postcards from this era. The detailed craftsmanship and cultural significance of the Maison des Invalides as a care institution make this postcard a unique collectible for enthusiasts of Belgian history and vintage photographic postcards.
