Old photograph 1900 Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest diligence Mont Saint Michel

Pretty and very old photograph representing a stagecoach, his horse, coachmen and other workers of the "western railway company". And small original detail, the stagecoach presents an advertisement for an excursion to Mont Saint-Michel. It was in a set of about fifteen old photos representing various scenes with the common point of the presence of one or more horses (if you have any information, I'm taking!). The reference to "Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest" suggests that it dates from between the end of 1800 and the beginning of 1900, this company having been bought by the state in 1908. It is glued on a flexible cardboard embossed with a pretty frieze in relief. This photo is in a correct condition, no big spot, but obviously does not hide its hundred years outdated, and therefore has small marks, the cardboard has small spots, colorations, damaged corners and two tears that are not visible on the first photos (the photo had moved, putting it back in place, I unfortunately created these tears, see detail on the last two photos). The cardboard frame measures 26.5 cm by 21 cm revealing the photo through an opening of 15.5 cm by 11 cm. It will be sent well protected against folds but also against moisture. Other old photographs are or will soon be present in my shop, do not hesitate to contact me if you want to order several so that I adjust the shipping costs.
