EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant postcard, sold for the benefit of Le Paquet de L'Orphelin during the Christmas season of 1918, captures the spirit of generosity and compassion that emerged in the face of the devastating impact of World War I on the children of France. Le Paquet de L'Orphelin, or 'The Orphan's Package,' was a charitable organization that aimed to provide essential gifts and supplies to war orphans throughout the country. The image on the postcard features a bald eagle, a symbol of strength and freedom, delivering a parcel to a group of young children. The eagle, with its determined gaze and outstretched wings, embodies the spirit of those who sought to bring aid and comfort to the most vulnerable members of society during wartime. The children, bundled up against the cold, eagerly await the delivery of their Christmas presents, their expressions filled with hope and anticipation. The postcard, produced circa 1918, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of France during the First World War and the enduring power of charitable giving to bring joy and relief to those in need. The proceeds from the sale of this postcard, and countless others like it, helped to ensure that the children of France received a small measure of happiness and support during the darkest days of the war.
