Folies-Bergere Postcard Set

Found this neat vintage set of 5 performance postcards in a cute die-cut envelope displaying all of the gorgeous glitz and glamour (among other things) from the fabulously original Folies-Bergere. Just look at those sets! No other information is listed anywhere on this particular piece, so dating it is impossible, though it all looks distinctly 1930's or 40's, I guess. And apologies once more as I'm back to watermarking some of my posts again... some of you poor image dump freaks without your own original content just don't know how to kindly link back to my page here, (it's always the risqué material too), so it's come to this again. If anyone has any additional, helpful information to add to anything about this post, please leave a comment. Thank you!

Dazzling showgirls of another time, the club owners knew what the public wanted back then, and in many cases what they want today. This is tame compared to what goes on at Carnival in Rio de Janero.

Unfortunately, there will always be freeloaders who don't realize the hard work posters go through to get these images online. A little recognition goes a long way.
I have done a fair amount of scanning (documents for my own use), so I know that images don't scan right the first time every time. Then there is the hassle of getting the images just right, especially older stuff that needs a digital touchup job. People can talk about AI doing everything someday, but that someday isn't here yet and it won't be cheap. AI is just a tool, not the tool worker, a detail all of the technocrats forget.

Lets see AI put together a blog and images for said blog and see the end results.
