On the message side of the postcard is a sweet note from Aimee Banchet to her "Godmother and Uncle".

The card is addressed to Mr and Mrs Martin who resided in the town of Chonon les Bains, France.The town is located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of eastern France.

What a time it was. Queen Victoria died and new century began with so much excitement and dreams for the future of the world. There was a gaiety in that short time reflected by the music and popular tunes. With the advent of the First World War, how things changed. This is truly a moment of sweet purity that would be harder and harder to come by as the world “progressed”. Thank you Cabinet Card. – Doesn’t “Aimee” mean ‘loved one’?
You are correct about the meaning of the word “Amiee”. The word does mean “Loved One” and Amiee is the original form of the name Amy. It is of French origin. Thanks for your comment.
