Type Marseillais - 370
Series of five comic postcards depicting a plain middle-aged man cross-dressed to represent ordinary women of Marseilles. Each card has a humorous caption giving a line of dialog in the local patois laced with Provençal expressions. Three cards (numbered 370, 373 and 374), subtitled “Une Poissonière,” show a fishwife standing in cocky poses while carrying a scale for weighing her goods.
