Antique & Vintage Postcards

Black-and-white postcard of the Temple Bar Memorial — the griffin monument at the boundary of the City of London on Fleet Street — with the ornate Victorian Gothic frontage of the Royal Courts of Justice visible behind. Horse-drawn vehicles, an early omnibus advertising Pears soap, and Edwardian pedestrians animate the foreground. The card is published by Lévy Fils & Cie (LL), Paris, a prolific French publisher of topographical postcards active from the 1880s through the early 1900s, identified by the "LL" logo and card number 101.
