En parcourant le bearn

Reproduction aquarelle de Charles Homualk.  Berger des Pyrenees.  Made in France.  Editions Gaby.  There are few illustrated cards from the early years.  I'm unsure of the date of this card but would assume it would be in the 40s to 60s era.  It is a beautiful card which captures many components of the life of a shepherd in the Pyrenees - the ruggedness, the villages below, the majestic mountains, sheep and faithful dog.  This card is larger than the earlier cards and has an uneven edging.
