This original vintage photo postcard captures a poignant scene titled "Petites pauvresses sur la route de Quimper à Beg-Meil," featuring four young girls dressed in rustic, early 20th-century attire. The children, posed against a soft, blurred natural backdrop, evoke a glimpse into rural life in Brittany, France. The postcard dates from the divided back era (1907-1915), a period when postcards began featuring space for messages and addresses on the reverse side.The monochrome image is finely detailed, emphasizing the texture of the girls' worn clothing and traditional wooden clogs, typical of the region's working-class children. Printed in France, this standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) photo postcard exemplifies early photographic postcard production with clear typewritten title text at the top. The back features Breton language text and the term "Karten-Bost," indicating its cultural and linguistic context. This piece is a unique collectible for those interested in French regional history, early photography, and ethnographic memorabilia.
