    It's not real manly when you have to beg.

    Back in the 60s french soldiers didn't have to beg. They were given five ration slips a month for visit to local brothels.

    For a woman she looks rather short. Perhaps about 4 - 4 1/2 feet tall? Get me to the brothels! LOL!!

    Default Short, but not small.

    This postcard is from a series of six I found on a European auction site. The rest might not past our moderator's inspection. The female model is fully mature if you know what I mean and I think you do.

    I'm guessing from the uniform and the model's lingerie that the photos are from around 1900. The soldier is a Belle Epoch Jim Carrey with a rubber face.
