Published by Editions La Malibran

After the 1960s, the production of film star postcards diminished. However, in France, several publishers remained active in making postcards with quality pictures of old and new stars and film scenes. A wonderful example is Editions La Malibran, situated in Paris and Saint-Dié, later Nancy. One of their film postcard series was the Collection Cinéma Couleur with excellent colour stills of old and new classics of the European and Hollywood cinema. The series was published around 1990.
