283 Cauterets - Groupe de Guides a Pied

Les Hautes-Pyrenees.  Three Guides in their traditional uniform of jacket and beret with a very reluctant Pyr in the middle.  The Guides and their dogs were a popular subject of the early photographers.  Several postcards have them posing for the camera enroute with a menagerie of dogs, puppies, donkeys, women and kids in tow.  Often several versions of similar poses were published in a series.
