On December 20, 1872, on the proposal of the director of the Rampont-Léchin Post Office, a finance law formalized the birth of the postcard in France. The first cards circulated on January 15, 1873 and were a resounding success: in one week, 7,412,700 copies were sold. From 1890, the postcard became the preferred medium for correspondence.
The envelope was sent by Fabienne.
