EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1908, features a portrait of the renowned French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954), taken during the height of her literary career. Colette, who went by the pen name "Colette," was a prolific writer known for her wit, sensuality, and vivid storytelling. She began her literary journey as a young woman, publishing her first collection of short stories at the age of 20. The image on this postcard shows Colette dressed in a laced, high-necked dress, her expressive eyes gazing directly at the viewer. Her hair is pulled back in a chignon, and she wears a pearl necklace and earrings. The plain background allows the focus to remain on Colette's striking features and the elegance of her attire. Colette's writing style was influenced by her experiences growing up in rural France and her time spent in the Parisian literary world. She wrote in various genres, including novels, short stories, and plays, and was known for her autobiographical works. Her most famous novel, "Gigi," was published in 1944 and was later adapted into a successful film. Despite her success, Colette faced challenges in her personal life, including a tumultuous marriage to the writer Henry Gauthier-Villars, who controlled her early work and took credit for her writing under his own name. She eventually broke free from this arrangement and went on to enjoy a long and productive career. This postcard offers a glimpse into the life of a literary icon, capturing Colette's beauty and the essence of the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring appeal of the human spirit.
