Five years ago, we did a post about Cinémagazine. Cinémagazine-Edition or CE was a small French publishing company, located in Paris, which had a good reputation. Cinémagazine's star postcards from the 1920s and 1930s are still mesmerising. Recently, we found a lot of Cinémagazine postcard which we share with you in two posts. Today, the second post with cards of which the photos have a white frame. At the end of the series, the postcards also came in a lighter version, and sometimes the colour differed too. There were even a few coloured cards.
