1. Title: "A Mysterious Feline Invitation to the Universal and International Exhibition in Brussels, 1935" In this black-and-white postcard image, a sleek and enigmatic black cat graces the scene, adorned with a vibrant red ribbon tied into a neat bow around its neck. The cat, with its piercing eyes and arched back, exudes an air of intrigue and allure, inviting viewers to unravel the mystery behind the silhouetted image. The postcard, hailing from the 1930s, was produced to promote the Universal and International Exhibition held in Brussels, Belgium, in 1935. The event, which showcased the latest advancements in trade, industry, and culture from around the world, was a significant attraction for visitors from near and far. The cat, with its distinctive porte-bonheur (French for "bringer of happiness") posture, is positioned in front of an arched gateway, hinting at the entrance to the exhibition grounds. The park setting in the background, with its lush greenery and picturesque attractions, further emphasizes the sense of excitement and adventure that awaited visitors. The red ribbon, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, adds an element of elegance and sophistication to the image, making it a truly unique and captivating piece of advertising art from the 1930s. This postcard, with its striking silhouette of a black cat and its intriguing connection to the Universal and International Exhibition, remains a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring appeal of feline companions.
