Sartony was a French photo studio that existed throughout the 20th century and beautifully portrayed countless French silent film stars. Sartony's studio, 'photographe de luxe', was first located at 16 Rue Duphot near the Boulevard de la Madeleine in Paris. The business prospered so the studio moved on to 45 Rue la Fayette, near the Opera, and was then sometimes credited as 'Sartony, Lafitte'. We chose 15 sepia postcards with Sartony pictures by two publishers: A. Noyer a.k.a. A.N., known for its Les Vedettes de Cinéma series, and Edition Cinémagazine.

Bouboule was Mistinguett's goddaughter, an admittedly talented child actress. She was born in 1917 and from 1921 on, she appeared in 13 films.
