Vintage Toul France Porte de France Street Scene Hotel Soleil d\'Or Postcard
The photograph has excellent period detail, including the large arched stone structure, iron gates, several people in the roadway, and a small dog in the foreground. In the distance, the Hôtel du Soleil d\'Or can be seen, which adds extra local-history interest to the scene.
The front is titled “Toul Pittoresque” at the top and “Le Porte de France” at the bottom.
The reverse is a traditional French divided-back design marked “CARTE POSTALE,” “CORRESPONDANCE,” and “ADRESSE.” The card is unused and has not been addressed or mailed.
