This vintage real photo postcard features pretty French film actress, Louise Lagrange (1898-1979). She was born in Oran, France, which is now in Algeria. Her movie debut occurred when she was nine years of age. Her first marriage was to film director Maurice Tourneur. Her second marriage was to actor, William Elliot. The IMDb credits her with 48 film credits between 1907 and 1952. Her appearances included such films as “A Roman Orgy” (1911), “The Nude Woman” (1926), “In the Shadow of the Harem” (1928), and “Cage of Girls” (1949). Do I detect a pattern here? Lagrange certainly acted in a large number of films with sexually provocative movie titles. Cinemagazine (Paris Edition) is the publisher of this card. It was part of a series (no. 425). SOLD

A young woman poses for her portrait at the Herbert studio in a town called Windermere. Where is Windermere. Thats a tough question. There are towns named Windermere in the United States, Australia, England, Canada, and the Bahamas. I am going to rule out the United States as being the home of the Herbert studio because of the regal type logo. The logo is more relevant to England or to a former or present English colony than to the United States. SOLD
