Antique & Vintage Postcards

The legendary Percé Rock rises from the Gulf of St. Lawrence like a rust-red sentinel in this sweeping chrome-era aerial view of the Gaspésie coast — one of Quebec's most iconic vistas, beloved by painters from the Group of Seven onward. The panoramic shot looks down a winding coastal road into the village of Percé, with Bonaventure Island hulking on the horizon. This card is the cover of a classic accordion-fold souvenir folder containing twelve black-and-white photographs of the Bas-du-Fleuve region — fishing boats, whitewashed village churches, crashing surf — the kind of intimate regional documentation that made these folder sets beloved by mid-century travelers. Captioned scenes are labeled "Tour de la Gaspésie P.Q." Published by Les Agences Kent, Enr., 1068 rue Salaberry, Québec, and numbered 638 on the back. Unused and unaddressed, this folder is a charming capsule of postwar francophone Quebec tourism.
