This unusual and charming vintage French advertising postcard promotes the veterinary services of Dr. Janvier, a “vétérinaire spécialiste” (specialist veterinarian) located in Paris, France. The front of the postcard, printed in red and black, features the heading “Maladies des Chiens” (Diseases of Dogs). At right is a photographic image of a small dog seated with a bandaged or splinted paw, symbolizing Dr. Janvier’s care for injured animals. The layout, typography, and design strongly suggest an early 20th-century date (circa 1905–1915). The lower line of text translates to: “Consultations from 2 to 5 o’clock — House Calls.” (SOLD)
