Beautiful and very old photograph depicting a stagecoach, its horse, coachmen, and other workers from the "Western Railway Company". And a little original detail, the stagecoach features an advertisement for an excursion to Mont Saint-Michel. It was part of a collection of about fifteen old photos representing various scenes, all sharing the common theme of one or more horses (if you have any information, I would be interested!). The mention of the "Western Railway Company" suggests it dates from between the late 1800s and the early 1900s, as this company was bought by the state in 1908. It is glued onto a soft, embossed cardboard with a lovely relief border. This photo is in fair condition, with no major stains, but it obviously shows its age of over a hundred years, presenting small marks; the cardboard has minor stains, discolourations, damaged corners, and two tears that are not visible in the first photos (the photo shifted, and while repositioning it, I unfortunately created these tears; see details in the last two photos). The cardboard frame measures 26.5 cm by 21 cm, allowing the photo to be seen through an opening of 15.5 cm by 11 cm. It will be sent well protected against creases and also against moisture. Other old photographs are or will soon be available in my shop; feel free to contact me if you wish to order several so I can adjust the shipping costs.
