Whilst I'm in a postcard mood...
This is No.139 of a series of postcards, photographed in France sometime around the 1920s. Now Leo did have an eye for a pretty girl, unlike our previous postcard photographer! He was also not averse to the girls removing some clothing, it has to be said... This must be one of those series with which the French were supposed to sidle up to you in the street and say "Would you like to buy some postcards, M'sieur?".
"Get away, filthy postcard seller!" you would cry. But then when the wife wasn't looking, "Mais oui! Combien?"
I've always liked these French tinted postcards. You are right it's circa 1920's. There is some information about these postcards and about their predecessors (tinted WW1 patriotic and early 1900's tinted stage glamour postcards) on my blog.
