The postcard features a sepia-toned image of Marseille’s historic Vieux Port, showcasing a scenic view of the harbor with a ferry boat crossing the water. In the foreground, a small boat is navigated by a lone oarsman, while several other vessels are anchored nearby, creating a lively maritime atmosphere. The backdrop includes a striking stone fortress and charming buildings lining the port, under a sky filled with soft clouds. The reverse side contains handwritten correspondence in French addressed to a Monsieur in Paris, reflecting a personal touch and the postcard's role as a glimpse into life in early 20th-century Marseille. The card is stamped, adding to its vintage charm and historical significance.
