Pair of two original antique French humorous golf postcards, featuring charming caricature-style illustrations of young golfers.
Both postcards belong to the same Édition Française series and feature colorful comic illustrations centered on the early game of golf.
The first card shows a young golfer carefully preparing to strike the ball and bears the French caption:
“Un peu d\'application.”
Approximately: “A little concentration.”
The second card shows another young golfer reacting dramatically after his shot, with the caption:
“Final!”
Both illustrations feature period golf clubs, golf balls and early golfing clothing, presented in an amusing children\'s caricature style.
The reverse of each card is printed “Carte Postale” and bears the publisher\'s marking Édition Française, together with a small JM monogram.
