Edition Pathé Frères (2)

Last Saturday, EFSP did a post on an early series by Edition Pathé Frères of black and white postcards, made just before the First World War. Today we have a series of hand-coloured postcards of the Pathé stars of the 1910s. Among them were Stacia Napierkowska, Robinne and Léontine Massart. And the biggest star of them all was the marvellous comedian Max Linder. His and other photos were made by Félix. The postcards were printed by the Imprimerie de la Platinogravure.
