191 Cauterets - Chiens des Pyrenees
I waited a long time to add this rare vintage card to my collection. It is probably the oldest one I have dating back to the late 1800s. It has an undivided back which places it prior to 1907 and the wording on the back "Ce cote est exclusivement reserve a l'adresse" puts the card in the 1881 time period. When I first saw this card in 2004 it went on auction for $56.00 (US dollars) to a serious Pyr collector, far too steep for me at that time. I still paid a hefty price for owning it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Les Pyrenees Illustrees. Imp. Royer et Cie, Nancy.
