The past is gone, leaving behind this beautiful page, waiting for its destined owner to continue using it :) - On the left side of this document, there is a very clear, ancient royal postmark and an embossed eagle crest. Based on research, the earliest French stamped seals for official use date back to around 1674, when Louis XIV began to emphasize royal tariffs. Similar to what we might call postage tax today, these were used on important documents. Over generations and political changes, the designs of these postmarks varied, giving them significant historical meaning. It is especially suitable as a background for photography, offering a rich, authentic French vintage ambiance. **【 Please Note 】** ✓ Having endured many years, it naturally possesses minor creases and weathered stains; this is normal. ✓ The paper has a creamy yellow hue, slightly aged, not a bright white. All photos are taken in natural light. The actual item will appear slightly darker. Please understand this before purchasing. These are all normal signs of age and use. Please examine all photos carefully. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1914/44629753534_c625f89928_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1917/44439216165_96f750de9c_o.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1935/44439215885_e1d4f7806d_o.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1931/44629753184_e888699c9a_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1943/44439215625_1976d07640_o.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1935/44629753354_37e0b221ee_o.jpg /** Before Purchasing **/ Each antique piece is personally and diligently sourced by us, both domestically and internationally.
