The hotel garden

Old postcard captioned “GIVERNY. - Jardin de l’Hôtel Baudy”, stamped, postmarked, and covered with handwriting across the picture side.

Postcard titled “GIVERNY. — Jardin de l’Hôtel Baudy”, published by A. L. of Vernon. A lawn laid out in beds, a staircase rising towards the trees. The back carries a handwritten message and a franked stamp. The message is written across the picture side: in France the back of a postcard was reserved for the address alone until 1903–1904, which places its posting before that reform.

Date: Before 1904

On the estate

The garden and its studio

The lawn laid out in beds, the paths, tables set under the trees — and, away from the house, the wooden pavilion built in 1887: the studio, with its north-facing skylight, the only one that survives today.
