“Que ce serment d’amour nous unisse toujours.”
“Let us be united forever.”
A French WWI-era postcard, circa 1915–1918. Sepia-toned and soft-lit, it captures a soldier and his beloved beneath a moonlit sea, their figures wrapped in tenderness and solemnity. She clutches a bouquet of white carnations, symbols of remembrance and fidelity, while he leans in gently, uniformed and homebound in heart.
This card is part of a rare bilingual romantic series from Paris, with both French and English script, a bridge of longing across language, war, and time. The edges are rounded with age, the print marked DIX 980, and the back unposted but imprinted with Établissements photographiques de Boulogne-sur-Seine, an early 20th-century photographic publisher known for sentimental military scenes.
