A charming and unique French postcard, celebrating April Fool's Day as it's done in France - not with pranks but with reminders featuring fish, which are supposed to be good for one's memory. This vintage post card is lavishly embossed, with four golden rosettes framing a finely detailed fish attachment which is in a clever blue forget-me-not flowered frame. The somewhat surprised-looking fish is saying: "Si vous devinez qui l'envoie,/Votre coeur sera dans la joie." This loosely translates as: "If you guess the sender, your heart will be joyous." Postmarked in 1908, and a desirable holiday collectible in very good condition.
