164 LOURDES (3 postcards)

Three of my favourite series of cards - Un Eleveur de Chiens de Montagne.  This family gathering of young children, donkeys, dogs and squirming puppies tells a story.   The stoic expressions of the girl in the center, the pouting boy on the right, the very upset baby girl...one wonders what they thought of the photographer taking so many shots.  I feel sorry for the Mom who looks like she has a bit of a handful in her young daughter.  And then there are the men..first there are two, then there is one.  Use your imagination.  These postcards are postmarked 1907 and they are not the only ones from this family grouping.  The others feature only the dogs.
