Editions F. Nugeron

French postcard publisher Editions F. Nugeron published no less than 82 series of postcards until 1991 when production ceased. The postcards by François Nugeron are loved by collectors for their diversity: cinema posters (the E series), designs by famous illustrators (the H series), magazine covers (the BD series), etc. And of course, François Nugeron created several series with star portraits of film actors and pop singers on which we focus in this post. Reportedly of each design 5000 postcards were printed.
