Bonne fête

These 2 postcards are French and date back to 1925. Standing between them is a Pathescope Motocamera 9.5mm cine camera from the late 1920s, which was also made in France. It may look as if this image has a border, but in fact the objects were photographed on an offcut of plain wallpaper I picked up at my local B&Q. It's surprising what can come in useful. :)

 

For this week's Smile on Saturday group theme, Postcards & Greeting Cards.

 

Since everything in the image is vintage, I thought it would be fun to take it with my vintage Helios 44-2 58mm lens, which I hadn't picked up in a while.
