Postcard from France!

Today I got a nice postcard from France! The postcard shows a painting by the famous French painter Jacques Joseph Tissot, also known as James Tissot. James Tissot was born in 1836 and was famous for painting for French society. The painting, The Circle of the Rue Royale, shows a scene at the balcony of the Hôtel de Coislin overlooking the Place de la Concorde. It was made in 1868 and is currently on display at the musée d'Orsay. Several stamps related to Freemasonry were used. Thanks Thomas!
