The hotel garden

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.
