Postcard Liege Belgium Le Boeuf au Repos Statue Park Real Photo 1920s

Liège, Belgium1925Pre-linenGood

Elegant gas lamps cast their glow over a tranquil promenade in Liège, Belgium, where the celebrated bronze sculpture "Le Boeuf au Repos" — the Resting Bull — dominates a stone pedestal beside a wrought-iron park bench, ivy-draped mansion wall at left, and a long avenue of mature trees receding into soft Belgian light. This richly toned real-photo-style gravure card, published by Librairie J. Bellens (No. 34), captures the civic sculpture that was a beloved landmark of Liège's public parks in the early twentieth century — the kind of neighbourhood detail that locals sent to friends and relatives throughout Wallonia and beyond. The card was never posted; it remains in pristine unwritten condition, its cream stock clean and square, the image printed with the lush tonal depth typical of Belgian phototype publishers of the 1920s interwar period.
