This card was posted in August 1899, it’s not often we come across postcards before 1900 so I thought I’d share it with you. It’s not in the best of condition but is interesting because of its age
The statue is of Cardinal Granvelle (1517-1586) who was an influential French statesman and a famous collector of art.
