Vintage Versailles Souvenir Album — Versailles et les Trianons

A little visit to Versailles, preserved on postcards. This vintage French souvenir album features black-and-white views of the palace and its surroundings, including the grand gardens and the magnificent Hall of Mirrors.  There are 24 postcards.

Its long, narrow format and textured pale cover, accented with red and black lettering, give it a distinctive presence. Display it open to a favorite view or enjoy turning the pages—a thoughtful gift for a Francophile, garden enthusiast, or someone remembering a visit to Versailles.

Published in Paris by G. Braun, whose back-cover imprint identifies the firm as the official publisher of France’s national museums. Undated; but like 1910-1920s.

Dimensions: Approximately 11″ long × 4.5″ high.

Condition: General aging, but all postcards are still tightly in the book.

An evocative keepsake of France’s most celebrated royal estate.
